that you can split a brownie mix in half! Once again I had a craving and a box of brownie mix sat in my cabinet. I decided to measure out the dry mix and see just how much was in a box. Come to find out it is 4 cups of dry brownie mix. So why not use half and make less brownies? Oh and why not splurge and top your brownies with a cream cheese frosting?! Yes please! This treat is perfect to make the same night or week you make my yummy risotto as I used mascarpone cheese in the frosting. Also I make them in a cupcake pan, so these would also be a nice treat to pack in a lunch during the work week!
Brownies for 1 (or 2!) This recipe makes 6 brownies.
1 box brownie mix
1 egg
1/4 cup water
2 Tbs oil
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips(optional)
1/2 chopping walnuts(optional)
cupcake pan
cupcake liners
Heat oven to 350. Trick: If you don't want your chips/nuts to sink in your brownies, toss them with some of the dry brownie mix in a separate bowl before adding them to the batter.
In bowl mix half your brownie mix with egg, oil, and water. (you can save the rest of your dry mix in a ziploc bag or container for another time) Line cupcake pan with 6 liners and equally distribute your brownie batter.
Bake 15-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool.
Frosting:
2 oz cream cheese: softened
2 oz mascarpone cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
In bowl mix 3 ingredients. Frost cooled brownies, and feel free to sprinkle with a few extra chocolate chips!
Serve with an ice cold glass of milk!
