Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix, any brand, baked and cooled
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons water
- 3 round cookie/biscuit cutters in varying sizes
Green Frosting
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
- green food coloring
Decorations
- holiday sprinkles
- yellow star-shaped decorations
- disposable piping bag
- Wilton Star tip 1m
Instructions
- Prepare Frosting: In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add milk, one tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly until the frosting reaches a smooth and desirable consistency. Add green food coloring until the frosting is evenly tinted green.
- Fill Piping Bag: Attach the Wilton Star tip 1m to the disposable piping bag and fill it with the green frosting, ready for decorating.
- Cut Brownie Circles: Using the three round cookie cutters of varying sizes, gently cut circles out of the baked and cooled brownies to create base layers for the Christmas trees.
- Stack and Frost: Starting with the largest brownie circle, place it as the bottom layer. Pipe a generous swirl of green frosting on top, then stack the medium-sized brownie circle on it. Repeat frosting and add the smallest circle on top, finishing with frosting on the topmost piece to resemble the tree tip.
- Decorate Trees: Place a yellow star decoration on the peak of each brownie stack. Sprinkle holiday sprinkles over the frosting to add festive color and texture.
- Repeat Process: Continue assembling the remaining brownie circles into trees until all pieces are used and decorated.
Notes
- Ensure brownies are completely cooled before cutting to prevent crumbling.
- Adjust frosting consistency with milk to achieve easy piping texture.
- Use any brand of brownie mix and customize sprinkles for various holiday themes.
- The star tip 1m creates a textured tree look but can be substituted with other piping tips if unavailable.
- Store assembled brownie trees in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
