Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to help lift the brownies out later.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup (220g) of butter and 1 cup (230g) of dark chocolate together, stirring constantly until completely smooth. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup (230g) of brown sugar. Pour the slightly cooled chocolate and butter mixture over the sugar and whisk until combined. Add the 4 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Sift 1/3 cup (50g) of cocoa powder into the wet mixture and mix until incorporated. Then, gradually add the 1.25 cups (160g) of all-purpose white wheat flour. Gently fold the flour into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out into an even layer. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cooled brownies out of the pan.
Once cooled, cut the brownies into triangles to form "Christmas tree" shapes. You can decorate your Christmas tree brownies with green frosting, sprinkles, and small candies to resemble ornaments. Optionally, insert pretzel sticks into the wide end of each triangle to create the tree trunks.
Arrange your decorated Christmas tree brownies on a festive plate, serve, and enjoy the holiday cheer!
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting to mix.
- Melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a double boiler to prevent burning.
- Use a toothpick to check for doneness; it should come out with a few crumbs when inserted into the center.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into tree shapes to avoid crumbling.
- Decorate with green frosting, sprinkles, or candies to resemble Christmas tree ornaments.
By following this recipe, you will have a batch of delectable Christmas tree brownies to share with loved ones during the holiday season. These brownies are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite decorations. Enjoy the process and savor the delicious results. Happy Holidays!
