Brownies With Orange Icing (Frosting) image

I've fallen in love with the chocolate and orange combination and wanted a brownie recipe to add to my collection. This is what I came up with. I didn't measure the zest or juice. I used half the zest of a large orange in each part and squeezed in enough orange juice to make a smooth icing.

Overmixing will result in tough, dry brownies. - Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will result in dry brownies. - Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting. - If you don't have orange extract, you can substitute vanilla extract or almond extract. - If you don't have cream cheese, you can substitute sour cream or yogurt. - Garnish the brownies with additional orange zest or chocolate shavings before serving.
