Homemade cosmic brownies are what my little niece Alyssa requested for her 7th birthday. How on earth does she know about cosmic brownies?
She heard the adults talking about how good they used to be. However, I was never a fan of cosmic brownies until recently. Last year she requested M&M Brownies. She loves brownies.
How to make Cosmic Brownies
This recipe is super easy and the kids are going to love it. Here is all you have to do:
Mix the unsalted melted butter, sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Add the sifted flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Mix until well combined. Grease and line a 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the brownie batter in the lined baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes. Let the brownies cool completely before frosting.
To make the ganache all you have to do is microwave the heavy cream for about 45 seconds and then pour it over the semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips. Let it sit for about 3 minutes and stir until well incorporated.
Do I have to use rainbow chips?
No, but without rainbow chips, they’re just plain old brownies. Nothing wrong with that, they’ll still be delicious.
Are these brownies cakey?
No way! These brownies are super fudgy and the easiest brownies I’ve ever made.
