Cosmic Brownie Recipe
Easy Homemade Cosmic Brownie Recipe
Equipment
- Whisk or electric mixer.
- 9×9-inch baking pan
Ingredients
The Brownies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
The Ganache Topping:
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
The Toppings:
- ½ cup rainbow candy-coated chocolate chips (or mini M&Ms)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Make the Brownie Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Bake the Brownies:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and level the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before adding the ganache.
Make the Ganache:
- Heat heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan until it begins to simmer (do not boil).
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 2–3 minutes.
- Stir until smooth and glossy.
Assemble the Cosmic Brownies:
- Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle rainbow candy-coated chocolate chips generously over the ganache.
Chill and Slice:
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the ganache to set.
- Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan.
- Slice into squares or rectangles to replicate the classic Cosmic Brownie shape.
