This is how you bake and decorate the Christmas tree brownies
Preheat the oven to
180 ° C
before.
Line a 22 cm
square baking pan
with parchment paper.
Melt the
dark chocolate
and
butter
in a saucepan over low heat or over a double boiler.
Then let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to let it cool down a bit.
Add the brown
sugar
to the chocolate mixture and stir in.
One at a time, add
the
eggs
,
flour
,
cocoa powder
and
sour cream
and stir all ingredients well.
Carefully
fold in
the
white chocolate chips
.
Pour the batter into the baking pan and smooth the surface.
Bake the brownie dough
in the oven
for
35-40 minutes
, then do the chopsticks test at the end of the baking time.
Then take out the finished brownies and let them cool for about half an hour.
In the meantime, beat the softened
butter
in a bowl
with a hand mixer
.
Gradually
add
the
powdered sugar
and keep beating after each addition until a light, creamy mass is formed.
Add the
milk
and beat under.
Place the brownies on a clean work surface.
Use a large serrated knife to cut the outside edges of the brownie.
Cut the large brownie cake in half and
each half into 6 triangles
.
Color the frosting with
green food coloring
and transfer it to a piping bag with a ridged nozzle.
Pour the frosting onto the brownie fir trees in zigzag strips or in dots.
Now you can
decorate
your
fir trees as
you wish
, for example with
M & Ms, sugar stars
or
sprinkles
.
The fir trees still need a trunk, either insert the
mikado sticks in
at the bottom or remove the round end of each
candy cane
and insert the rest of the candy cane.
