PEPPERMINT BROWNIES



Peppermint Brownies image

These crowd-pleasing treats start with a dense, chewy brownie that's topped with a layer of creamy peppermint filling, dark chocolate glaze, and a sprinkle of crushed peppermints. For the cleanest slices, chill the finished brownies thoroughly, then use a warm knife to slice them. Dip the knife blade into hot water and wipe it dry with a kitchen towel between each cut, and you'll be rewarded with clean layers of chocolate, peppermint and glaze. It's fine to sub chocolate chips for the chopped chocolate, just make sure they are fully melted before proceeding.

Time 1h15m

Yield 15 servings (one 9-by-13-inch pan)

Number Of Ingredients 20

Nonstick cooking spray
10 ounces/285 grams semisweet chocolate, chopped (or semisweet chocolate chips)
8 ounces/225 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup/220 grams light brown sugar
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 1/2 cups/310 grams confectioners' sugar
2/3 cup/160 milliliters sweetened condensed milk
3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of fine sea salt
6 ounces/170 grams semisweet chocolate, chopped (or semisweet chocolate chips)
1/4 cup/60 milliliters heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Pinch of fine sea salt
1/2 cup/95 grams crushed peppermints or candy canes

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch pan with nonstick spray, and line with parchment paper, leaving a 1 1/2-inch overhang on both sides (this will help you remove the brownies from the pan later).
  • Make the brownies: Place a medium heat-safe bowl over a medium pot of simmering water. Place the chocolate, butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar into the bowl. Heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is evenly melted. The mixture will be grainy; that's O.K.
  • Whisk the eggs into the chocolate mixture one at a time, then whisk in the vanilla extract. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix with a silicone spatula just until incorporated. Pour into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Make the peppermint filling: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, on medium-low, mix the confectioners' sugar, sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract, vanilla extract and salt to combine. When the mixture appears well combined, scrape down the bowl well once, then mix on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes. During mixing, the mixture will appear light and fluffy, but when you stop, it may look softer and more liquid. That's O.K.
  • Spread the peppermint mixture over the surface of the cooled brownies and spread into an even layer. (It will be stiff but spreadable.) Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for 15 minutes.
  • While the brownies chill, make the glaze: Place a medium heat-safe bowl over a medium pot of simmering water. Place the chocolate, cream, butter and salt in the bowl. Heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is evenly melted. (Alternatively, this can be done in the microwave in a microwave-safe container in 15-second increments until fully melted.) Let the glaze cool for 5 minutes.
  • Pour the glaze over the chilled brownies and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the crushed peppermints evenly over the surface. Return to the refrigerator to chill until the chocolate is fully set, about 45 minutes more.
  • Use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out of the pan and use a sharp knife to cut them into 15 even pieces. For cleanest slices, dip the knife into warm water and dry with a clean towel in between each cut. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Categories     Desserts

Time 4h30m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

9 oz fudge brownie mix, baked according to package instructions in a 9 x 13-inch pan
¾ cup vanilla ice cream
3 large raspberries
10.5 oz chocolate frosting, melted
1 teaspoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons water, divided
1 cup raspberries
¼ cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Make the brownie bombs: Cut 3 8-inch (20 cm) squares of plastic wrap. Place the plastic wrap in the cups of a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin, alternating between rows so you have enough space to work.
  • With a 3½-inch (8.75 cm) cookie cutter, cut 6 circles out of the pan of brownies.
  • Place a brownie circle in each prepared muffin cups. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop ¼ cup (35 g) of vanilla ice cream in the center of each brownie circle. Push a raspberry into the center of the ice cream and top with the remaining brownie circles. Wrap the plastic wrap around the brownie bomb. Place the muffin tin in the freezer and allow the brownie bombs to set for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight.
  • Make the raspberry sauce: Add the raspberries, sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons of water, and the lemon juice to a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water until the cornstarch is dissolved.
  • Once the raspberry mixture is boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the cornstarch slurry. Stir until the sauce thickens, 2-3 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let the sauce cool.
  • Remove the brownie bombs from the freezer. Unwrap and place, domed side up, on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Pour the melted chocolate frosting over the bombs, then place in the refrigerator to set, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the bombs from the refrigerator and drizzle with the raspberry sauce. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To make the brownie batter, you can use either melted butter or vegetable oil. If you use butter, make sure it is completely melted and cooled slightly before adding it to the other ingredients.
  • Do not overmix the brownie batter, as this will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • For a richer brownie, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate.
  • To make the peppermint ice cream, you can use either fresh or frozen peppermint leaves. If you use fresh leaves, wash them thoroughly and pat them dry before using.
  • If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can still make the peppermint ice cream. Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze it for at least 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes or so.
  • When assembling the brownie bombs, make sure the brownie batter is completely chilled and the peppermint ice cream is firm.
  • To prevent the brownie bombs from sticking to your hands, wet your hands before handling them.
  • For a more festive presentation, roll the brownie bombs in crushed candy canes or sprinkles.

Peppermint ice cream brownie bombs are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
