Description

These Oxe Frosted Brownies are the ultimate comfort food dessert, combining a dense, fudgy chocolate base with a luscious, sweet frosting. The batter is loaded with cocoa powder, butter, and walnuts, creating a deep chocolate flavor with a delightful crunch in every bite. Baked until just set, they offer a moist texture that holds up perfectly under the generous layer of frosting made from melted butter, cocoa, powdered sugar, and evaporated milk. This recipe is perfect for potlucks, family gatherings, or simply satisfying a serious chocolate craving on a rainy afternoon. Simple ingredients come together to create a nostalgic, homemade treat that feels indulgent yet approachable. Serve them warm for a gooey experience or chilled for a firmer, cake-like consistency.

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Lightly butter a large baking pan (larger than a standard 9x13 inch pan works well).
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the cocoa powder until smooth.
  3. In a large mixer bowl, beat the eggs until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add the sugar and salt to the eggs, beating well to combine.
  5. Pour the melted butter and cocoa mixture into the egg mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
  6. Add the flour and mix until just combined. Fold in the walnuts.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  10. While the brownies cool, prepare the frosting. In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Add the cocoa powder and heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly until smooth.
  11. Pour the butter and cocoa mixture into a mixing bowl.
  12. Add the powdered sugar and evaporated milk alternately to the bowl.
  13. Beat the mixture until it reaches a smooth, spreading consistency.
  14. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  15. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
