Description

These Oxe Frosted Brownies are the ultimate indulgence for chocolate lovers, featuring a dense, fudgy crumb packed with deep cocoa flavor and crunchy walnuts. The batter comes together easily with melted butter, eggs, and a generous amount of sugar, baking into a moist treat that holds its shape perfectly. The real star is the homemade frosting: a smooth, velvety blend of melted butter, cocoa, powdered sugar, and evaporated milk that spreads effortlessly over the cooled brownies. This dessert is perfect for holiday gatherings, potlucks, or simply satisfying a serious sweet tooth on a quiet evening. The combination of the chewy brownie base and the rich, creamy topping creates a texture contrast that is simply irresistible. Serve them warm or at room temperature for the best experience.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
  2. Lightly butter a large baking pan, ensuring it is larger than a standard 9x13 inch pan to accommodate the volume of the batter.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until slightly frothy.
  4. Add sugar, salt, flour, and chopped walnuts to the eggs and mix until combined.
  5. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
  6. Stir cocoa powder into the melted butter and heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until smooth.
  7. Pour the warm butter and cocoa mixture into the egg and sugar mixture.
  8. Add vanilla extract and stir until the batter is uniform.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  10. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the sides start to pull away from the pan. Do not rely on a toothpick test, as brownies continue to set after removing from the oven.
  11. Remove from oven and allow brownies to cool completely in the pan.
  12. For the frosting: Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a small saucepan.
  13. Add 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to the melted butter and heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly until smooth.
  14. Pour the butter-cocoa mixture into a mixing bowl.
  15. Alternately add 1/2 pound (approximately 1 6/11 cups) of powdered sugar and 3 1/2 tablespoons of canned evaporated milk, beating after each addition.
  16. Beat the frosting until it reaches a smooth spreading consistency.
  17. Blend in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  18. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
