Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base:
- 1 box dark chocolate brownie mix
- Ingredients required by box mix
Filling:
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Yellow food coloring
Topping:
- 1 can creamy homestyle chocolate frosting
Instructions
- Prepare brownie batter according to package instructions, ensuring the 8×8-inch pan is thoroughly lined with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Allow brownies to completely cool to room temperature, creating a stable foundation for the creamy filling.
- Combine corn syrup, softened butter, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl, whisking until smooth and well-blended.
- Gradually incorporate powdered sugar into the mixture, beating continuously until the filling achieves a consistent, creamy texture.
- Divide the filling mixture into two separate portions, using yellow food coloring to transform one half into a vibrant yolk-like layer.
- Carefully spread the yellow filling evenly across the cooled brownie surface, ensuring a uniform layer that mimics a Cadbury egg’s interior.
- Chill the yellow-layered brownies in the refrigerator for approximately 15 minutes to set the first filling layer.
- Spread the white filling over the yellow layer, creating a distinct two-tone effect characteristic of the classic Cadbury egg.
- Return the brownies to the refrigerator for an additional 15 minutes to firm up the white filling layer.
- Gently warm the chocolate frosting in the microwave for 30 seconds, stirring until it reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Drizzle roughly two-thirds of the melted frosting over the chilled brownie surface, allowing it to cascade and create an appetizing chocolate coating.
Notes
- Prevent sticking by generously greasing parchment paper with cooking spray or butter for easy brownie removal.
- Keep filling at room temperature to ensure smooth, spreadable consistency that won’t tear delicate brownie surface.
- Use gel food coloring for more vibrant yellow center, which creates more authentic Cadbury Egg appearance without watering down filling.
- Chill layers between spreading to maintain clean, distinct separation between white and yellow fillings, creating visually appealing and structurally sound dessert.
