Avocado Brownies with Avocado Frosting
These avocado brownies are topped with a pretty avocado frosting made with cream and sugar.
Ingredients
for the brownies
- 1/2 cup mashed avocado
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 4 oz unsweetened chocolate
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
For the frosting
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pit removed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Microwave the chocolate and the butter for 2 minutes until the butter melts. Stir the mixture with a large wooden spoon until the chocolate melts and mixture becomes smooth.
- Stir in sugar, eggs, mashed avocado and vanilla and mix until smooth. Stir in flour and mix until batter is smooth.
- Pour the brownie batter into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake the brownies for about 20 minutes until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- While brownies are cooling, make the frosting. Add avocado, sugar and heavy cream into a blender and blend on high speed until batter is smooth, no avocado pieces remain and frosting is stiff enough for piping (it is still not as stiff as your typical buttercream of whipped cream frosting, but it should be stiff enough to hold a piped swirl).
- After brownies are cooled, cut into squares and pipe with frosting.
