Ingredients
Scale
Brownies
- 2 Boxes of Brownie Mix, or a double batch of homemade brownies
Frosting and Decorations
- White Frosting, 1-3 jars (depending on desired coverage)
- Edible Gel Food Coloring (red and green or alternative natural food colorings)
- Edible Gold Stars
- White Pearl Sprinkles
- Icing Bags
- Frosting Tips (large star – 1M)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat the oven according to the brownie mix box instructions. Spray a 9-inch springform pan thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix and bake brownies: Combine both brownie mixes (or prepare a double batch of homemade batter) thoroughly. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake as per the packaging instructions or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and cut brownies: Allow the brownies to cool completely. Once cooled, remove from the springform pan carefully, place on a cutting board, and slice into 8 triangular pieces resembling Christmas tree shapes.
- Prepare colored frostings: In separate small bowls, mix some white frosting with red gel food coloring in one, and green gel food coloring in another. Adjust the dye quantity to achieve your preferred vibrant color shades.
- Fill icing bags: Transfer the red, green, and remaining white frosting into individual icing bags fitted with large star frosting tips (1M recommended) for decorative piping.
- Decorate brownies: Using the green frosting, pipe Christmas tree patterns on some brownies and embellish them with white pearl sprinkles and edible gold stars. Use white and red frosting for decorating Santa Claus hat brownies or other festive designs as desired.
- Serve and enjoy: Arrange the decorated brownies on a holiday platter, serve, and enjoy the festive flavors and beautiful presentation with family and friends.
Notes
- You can opt to use only one box or batch if you prefer thinner brownies; two boxes create extra thick, indulgent brownies.
- Baking times may be longer for a double batch – monitor brownies and adjust baking time accordingly.
- The amount of frosting used depends on how thickly you want to frost the brownies and the intensity of your desired red and green hues.
- Use natural or gel food coloring alternatives if you prefer to avoid artificial dyes.
