How to Make Giada's Christmas Tree Brownies
Gather Your Ingredients
To make these delicious Christmas Tree Brownies, you will need:
Butter
Sugar
Eggs
Vanilla extract
All-purpose flour
Cocoa powder
Baking powder
Salt
Green food coloring
Chocolate chips
Confectioners' sugar
Water
M&M's or other small candies
Bake the Brownies
To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine melted butter and sugar, and mix until well combined. Add in eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Green food coloring can be added at this point to give the batter a festive green color.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the brownies cool completely before moving on to the next step.
Decorate the Brownies
Once the brownies have cooled, it's time to decorate them like Christmas trees! To make the green frosting, mix together confectioners' sugar and water until you reach a smooth and spreadable consistency. Add more water if needed. Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies, leaving a small border around the edges.
Next, melt chocolate chips in the microwave or on the stovetop and transfer to a piping bag or Ziploc bag with the corner cut off. Pipe out the outline of Christmas trees on top of the green frosting. Then, use the remaining melted chocolate to fill in the trees.
Finally, decorate the trees with M&M's or other small candies to create ornaments. Let the chocolate set and then cut the brownies into triangles to resemble Christmas trees.
Enjoy!
These Christmas Tree Brownies are sure to be a hit at any holiday gathering. They are not only delicious, but also add a festive touch to your dessert table. Give Giada's recipe a try this holiday season and impress your friends and family with your baking skills!
