Ingredients:
For the Brownies:
– 1 cup Unsalted Butter
– 2 cups Granulated Sugar
– 1/2 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
– 3 Eggs
– 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
– 1/3 cup + 2 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
– 2 tbsp Black Cocoa Powder
– 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
– 1/2 tsp Salt
For the Oreo Frosting:
– 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
– 1/3 cup Vegetable Shortening
– 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
– 2 cups Powdered Sugar
– 1-2 tbsp Milk
– 12 Crushed Oreos
Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan generously to prepare for the brownie batter.
2. Make the Chocolate Mixture:
In a medium bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the granulated sugar and chocolate chips until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the chocolate mixture, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Blend in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, black cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
5. Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
6. Prepare the Oreo Frosting:
Whip together the butter and vegetable shortening until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, beating until smooth and fluffy. Gently fold in the crushed Oreos.
7. Frost and Serve:
Once the brownies are completely cool, spread the Oreo frosting evenly over the top. Cut into squares and serve.
These ultimate Oreo Brownies are a show-stopping dessert perfect for any gathering or special occasion. Enjoy the perfect combination of rich chocolate and Oreo goodness in every bite!
