Servings

Ingredients

    Brownies

    • 1 cup Butter
    • 1 1/2 cups Sugar
    • 4 eggs
    • 2 teaspoons Vanilla
    • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Einkorn Flour
    • 2/3 cup Baking cocoa
    • 1 teaspoon Salt

    Mint Frosting

    • 1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
    • 3 tablespoons Butter
    • 1 teaspoon Peppermint Extract Or 5 drops peppermint essential oil
    • 1 drop Green Food Coloring

    Chocolate Ganache

    • 3 tablespoons Butter
    • 1 cup Semi-sweet or Dark Chocolate Chips
    • 2 tablespoons Heavy Whipping Cream

    Directions

    1. Preheat the oven to 350F.  Grease a 9 x 13 cake pan.
    2. Cream the butter and sugar.
    3. Add the eggs and the vanilla to the creamed mixture, and mix until combined.
    4. Sift the flour, cocoa, and salt and add them to the butter mixture. Stir just until combined.  The batter will be very thick.
    5. Spread it out into the greased pan, and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    6. Let cool.
    7. Put all the ingredients for the mint frosting in a medium sized bowl, and beat them until it is creamy and fully combined.  Spread the frosting onto the cooled brownies.
    8. Put the brownies into the fridge for the mint frosting to harden a bit.
    9. For the ganache, begin melting the butter and chocolate chips together in a double boiler or a bowl on top of a sauce pan with a couple inches of boiling water.
    10. When the chocolate begins to melt, warm the cream until it is warm to the touch and then add it to the melting chocolate.  Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and then spread it on top of the brownies, being careful to not mix it with the mint frosting underneath.
    11. Chill until the chocolate is set.
    12. Serve!

    Note: These brownies freeze very well.
