Description

Gooey from scratch brownies loaded with chocolate and topped with a creamy chocolate cream cheese frosting.


Ingredients

Scale

For the brownies:

  • 2 sticks salted butter
  • 8 oz chopped semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 2 egg yolks

For the frosting:

  • 4 tbsp butter, room temperature
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

For the brownies:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9×13 pan with cooking spray and then line the bottom with parchment paper so the side are hanging up and over the edge of the pan then spray again.
  2. In a small saucepan, add 8 oz of chopped chocolate, cocoa powder and butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring often until chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. In a medium sized bowl combine flour and salt.
  4. In a separate medium sized bowl add sugars and vanilla.
  5. Once your chocolate mixture has cooled slightly, add your eggs and egg yolks and stir until smooth.
  6. Add egg/chocolate mixture to the sugar mixture and stir until smooth.
  7. Add wet mixture to flour mixture and fold it together until no flour streaks remain.
  8. Spread into greased 9×13 pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick entered in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs on it.
  9. Remove and allow to cool completely while you make the frosting.

For the frosting:

  1. In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, cream together butter and cream cheese until completely smooth, 4-5 minutes.
  2. Slowly add powdered sugar and mix on low until powdered sugar is mixed in.
  3. Add salt and cocoa powder and mix on low until combined.
  4. Turn mixer to medium/high and beat for 3-5 minutes until fluffy and smooth.
  5. Frost cooled brownies with frosting, cut into squares and serve.

THREE YEARS OLD!!! I can’t believe my baby girl THREE YEARS OLD!!!

I can’t believe my baby girl is already 3. Quinney woke up today crying that she didn’t want it to be her birthday and didn’t want to turn 3. If only I could keep her 2 forever 🤣

Quinney is our sour patch girl. She is a wild child with some serious sass but she has a very sweet side too. She’s the funniest little thing and always has us laughing. Her personality is summed up perfectly in many of these videos. She beats to the tune of her own drum, that’s for sure. But we wouldn’t have it any other way! 

She loves all things girly. Dancing, babies, Barbie’s, make up, nail polish, dresses and pink. We love our big 3 year old Quinney girl 💕💕💕
Food content has slowed down, I’m not in the kit Food content has slowed down, I’m not in the kitchen creating as much as normal and it’s been really hard on me to not be producing new recipes for you guys a couple times a week but that’s just the stage of life I’m in right now…..

Growing a human, raising 2 other humans, being a wife and taking care of my family will always be my number one priority. I’m exhausted 99% of the time but I know I’ll look back on these messy days and miss them dearly so right now I’m trying to not be so hard on myself and just live in the moment and be grateful for this life I’ve been blessed with. 

I promise when I get some energy back (if ever this pregnancy 🤪) I will be back to producing a couple new recipes a week but in the meantime I hope you stick around and enjoy my life via Instagram exactly as it is ❤️❤️❤️
