Cosmic Brownie Recipe (Tastes Like the Real Thing!)
Description
The Cosmic Brownie Recipe features a thick batter of melted butter mixed with natural cocoa powder and a blend of granulated and brown sugars, creating a deep chocolate flavor base. Eggs and vanilla add structure and aroma, while the combination of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt ensures a tender crumb and just enough rise. Baking in a 13x9 pan at 350°F for 16 to 18 minutes results in a fudge-like texture that is moist but holds together.
Once cooled, the brownies are covered with a creamy frosting made by melting semisweet and milk chocolate chips with heavy cream, then adding vanilla and a pinch of salt for balance. The frosting is spread evenly and decorated with candy-coated chocolate chips, adding a slight crunch and colorful presentation. The contrast between the dense brownie and the silky frosting creates a layered dessert experience.
This recipe is well suited for gatherings, lunchbox treats, or any time a classic rich brownie is desired. The cooling time before frosting allows the texture to settle, ensuring clean slices. The visual appeal from the candy-coated chips adds a nostalgic touch reminiscent of a well-known commercial treat.
Ingredients
- 12 Tablespoons butter cut into Tablespoon-sized pieces
- ¾ cup cocoa powder natural
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 egg large; plus 1 large egg yolk lightly beaten
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
Frosting
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons candy coated chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare a 13x9 pan by lightly greasing and flouring, or line with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350F.
- Place butter in a large, microwave-safe bowl, and microwave until completely melted.
- Stir in cocoa powder.
- Add sugars, and stir well.
- Add eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition.
- Stir in vanilla extract. Set aside.
- In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch (cornflour for UK), and salt.
- Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet until completely combined.
- Evenly spread into prepared pan and bake on 350F (177C) and bake for 16-18 minutes. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
Frosting
- Combine chocolate chips and heavy cream in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir well until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt. Allow to cool 5-10 minutes before proceeding.
- Evenly pour frosting over brownies, using a spatula to spread evenly.
- Immediately sprinkle candy chips over top. Allow frosting to harden (about 1 hour) before cutting and eating (this can be sped up if you place the brownies in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes).
