I didn’t just want to be a chocolate brownie. I didn’t want to be plain. I didn’t want to be ordinary.
I wanted to be Optimus Prime. The biggest, baddest goodest, most awesomeness Transformer ever. You can’t be plain and be Optimus Prime.
So I wasn’t just chocolate. I was nutty. And I was chocolate frosted. Chocolate nutty brownie overload. That was me.
Ok, so that wasn’t me talking above there, as in that wasn’t me ~ catty. That there was my brownie talking, and no I don’t have a multiple personality disorder. I mean, who the hell talks as if they’re a brownie?!
Yeah. Only cra-zee people.
Anyway, my brownie might have wished he was Optimus Prime but honestly? I’m a Bumble Bee kinda girl. Simple and sweet.
I was sort of excited plastering the frosting on the slab of brownie but truth be told, I thought the frosting overpowered the deliciousness of a plain nutty brownie and shhhh… I ended up scraping the icing off.
But if you’re still keen to give it a shot because oh I don’t know “your brownie” wants to be “Optimus Prime” (who the f*** comes up with this shit?), then here’s the recipe:
Frosted choc nut brownie |
---|
Brownie: 200 grams dark chocolate, roughly chopped 175 grams unsalted butter 325 grams caster sugar (I know, that’s a lot) 130 grams plain flour 50 grams chopped mixed nuts 3 eggs Frosting: 200 grams icing sugar 75 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature 30 grams cocoa powder 150 grams cream cheese, cold a 33 x 23 x 5cm baking tray lined with greaseproof paper |
|
Makes about 12 portions |
OH.MY.GOD,Are you trying to kill us with your recipe?!! It is to die for!!
That is a Brownie that wants to be a CupCake, but draws the line at whirlygigs…
No, see, frosting on brownies is just wrong!
*sigh*
I guess you had to go and learn the hard way… ๐
Mathilde: Haha I’m not so much trying to “kill” you as “help” you get in touch with your sweet buds ๐
Lynne: LOL, yes, this brownie has not yet come out of the closet.
aforkful: I did learn the hard way, hence baking a whole new set a mere two days later! ๐
That’s serious frosting!! It almost looks like the surface of a Mars bar!
So these were the brownies you were tweeting about! I understand why now. ๐ I love the thickness of that frosting! Hehe.
Sarah: LOL I know, I thought I’d have a little bit of brownie to go with the frosting ๐
Su-yin: LOL yeh there’s just a little bit too much frosting but hey, you only live once!
Wow, that looks inteeeeense!!!
xox Sarah
Love the brownie, so yummy looking- I want to reach in and snatch it up! Look forward to learning how to make a Mac with you this winter. My first attempt was, well . . . not exactly perfect.
Sarah: Yes, INTENSE. death by frosting INTENSE.
Cristie: I haven’t made a mac! I don’t know how??? I’d rather just eat them, they take way too much finesse to make and well, that’s just something I don’t have!
I wish you lived here so that you could make that for me =( Looks so damn good!!!!!
this really is the flipping Optimus Prime of brownies. check out the frosting. you’ve got me, hun you really do. I’m sold. Wed me? x
Loving that thick layer of gorgeous chocolate cream frosting…
Anh: I wish I was living there so you can cook me Vietnamese food ๐ miss you babe xx
diva: LOL I know right? There’s more frosting than brownie, if that isn’t Optimus I don’t know what is!
Kitchen Butterfly: me too x
Think my hubby just fell in love with you a little when he saw the photo of the brownie! These are similar to his favourite frosted brownies from Hummingbird Bakery – he loves those! I may have to make him some – pre-January dieting!
LOL thanks Anne! Yes, it was actually an adaptation of the Hummingbird recipe ~ I didn’t use the brownie recipe, I also added some nuts, but I did use the Hummingbird frosting recipe ๐ Make some and let me know how you go ๐
