Serves: 8 inch pan

  • Your favorite brownie mix plus ingredients called for. (oil, egg, water, usually)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1½ tbsp butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • ¼ tsp pure peppermint extract
for the Ganache
  • ¾ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tbsp heavy cream
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line an 8 inch baking pan with foil or parchment. Coat it lightly with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the brownie mix and bake as directed. Cool completely.
  3. To make the mint layer, combine the powdered sugar, butter, milk, cream and extract in a bowl. Stir slowly until the powdered sugar is incorporated then beat on medium-high until light and fluffy. Spread on top of the cooled brownie and place in the fridge to set.
  4. To make the ganache, stir the chocolate chips and heavy cream over low heat until the chips are melted. Cool to room temperature then spread evenly over top. Return to the fridge until serving.
Notes
To speed up the ganache cooling down, place the pan over a bowl of ice and stir constantly.
