Ingredients
Scale
- 5 oz (142g) bittersweet chocolate with 70% cocoa solids or extra dark 85% chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 6 tablespoon (84g) unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- heaped ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup plus 1 tbsp (60g) all-purpose flour
- heaped ½ cup (100g) chopped mini eggs plus extra for topping
- 3 tablespoon (42g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon (14g) coconut oil, softened
- 1 cup (120g) powdered confectioner's sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 3 teaspoon (15ml) whole milk, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon (2g) cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoon (10ml) hot water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a 7×7-inch or 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each side.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together in a bowl over simmering water or in the microwave until smooth. Keep warm.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until pale and creamy. Avoid over-whipping.
- Add vanilla and salt, then mix in the warm chocolate mixture until glossy.
- Sift in the flour and fold it in gently. Add chopped mini eggs and mix well.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 22-26 minutes until slightly puffed and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack.
- Prepare the frosting by mixing soft butter, coconut oil, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until fluffy. Adjust the consistency with milk.
- Spread the frosting on the cooled brownies and top with extra mini eggs.
- Create speckles by whisking cocoa powder and hot water. Flick the cocoa mixture over the frosted brownies for decoration. Cut with a hot knife and serve.
Notes
Ensure to use bittersweet chocolate for the right balance of sweetness.
Let brownies cool completely before frosting for the best texture.
Use a hot knife for clean slices when serving.
