Description

These Grasshopper Brownies Supreme are a decadent dessert that combines the deep, fudgy flavor of classic brownies with the refreshing coolness of mint. A layer of creamy, mint-infused cream cheese filling sits atop the baked brownie base, creating a delightful contrast in texture and taste. The entire creation is crowned with a silky chocolate ganache, adding an extra layer of richness. Perfect for parties, holidays, or any time you want to impress with a show-stopping treat. The combination of chocolate and mint is timeless, and this recipe delivers a luxurious, homemade feel. Serve chilled for the best experience, allowing the layers to set firmly for clean cuts.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Grease only the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine brownie mix, water, oil, and egg. Mix until just combined and smooth.
Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 33 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Remove from oven and allow brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
While brownies cool, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, beat softened margarine (or butter) and cream cheese until light and fluffy.
Gradually add powdered sugar and crme de menthe syrup to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until smooth and well combined.
Spread the filling evenly over the completely cooled brownies.
In a small saucepan, combine semisweet chocolate chips and margarine (or butter). Melt over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth.
Remove chocolate mixture from heat and let it cool for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour the cooled chocolate ganache evenly over the mint filling layer, spreading carefully to cover the entire surface.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow layers to set firmly.
Cut into bars and garnish as desired before serving.

Note

Storage: Keep brownies covered in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to 5 days.

Substitutions: You can substitute butter for margarine in both the filling and frosting for a richer flavor. For a non-alcoholic version, use mint extract mixed with a little simple syrup instead of crme de menthe.

Tip: Ensure the brownie layer is completely cool before adding the filling to prevent the cream cheese layer from sliding off or melting.

Variation: For a decorative touch, pipe the chocolate ganache using a small bag or drizzle it in a zigzag pattern over the filling.
