Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownies:

  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 bottle (1 oz) green liquid food coloring
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9-inch square pan with foil, leaving overhang for easy removal. Grease lightly.

2. Melt butter and chocolate together in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring until smooth.

3. Whisk sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until combined.

4. Add eggs one at a time, whisking gently after each addition.

5. Fold in flour, green food coloring, baking powder, vanilla, and salt just until combined.

6. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.

7. Bake for 44–48 minutes, until a toothpick inserted shows moist crumbs.

8. Cool brownies completely before frosting.

9. Beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy.

10. Gradually mix in powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla until smooth.

11. Spread frosting over cooled brownies and cut into squares.

Notes

• Use the full bottle of green food coloring for vibrant emerald color.

• Do not overmix after adding flour to keep brownies fudgy.

• Brownies must be fully cooled before frosting to prevent melting.

• For clean cuts, wipe knife between slices.

• Can be made unfrosted and frozen for up to 3 months.
