Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (any brand), baked and cooled
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp water
Frosting
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2-3 tbsp milk
- green food coloring
Decoration & Tools
- Holiday sprinkles
- Yellow stars
- Disposable piping bag
- Wilton Star tip 1m
- 3 round cookie/biscuit cutters in varying sizes
Instructions
- Prepare Frosting: In a bowl, combine powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency. Add green food coloring and mix well.
- Prepare Piping Bag: Attach the Wilton Star tip 1m to the disposable piping bag and fill the bag with the green frosting.
- Cut Brownie Circles: Using the 3 round cookie cutters of varying sizes, gently cut circles out of the baked and cooled brownie slab.
- Assemble Trees: Start with the largest brownie circle, squeeze frosting from the piping bag onto the top, then layer the medium and smallest brownie circles on top, squeezing frosting between each layer. Top the last brownie with frosting to resemble the peak of a Christmas tree.
- Decorate: Place a yellow star on top of each brownie tree and add holiday sprinkles over the frosting to complete the festive look.
- Repeat: Continue assembling and decorating the remaining brownie circles into Christmas trees until all brownies are used.
Notes
- Make sure brownies are completely cooled before cutting to avoid crumbling.
- Adjust frosting consistency by adding more milk if it’s too thick or more powdered sugar if too thin.
- Use any green food coloring shade to customize the look of the frostings.
- Holiday sprinkles can be swapped for small edible pearls or colored sugar for variety.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free brownie mix.
