• Lynsey Macdonald

The only thing more indulgent than a brownie, is a brownie topped with buttercream! And luckily, our friend Sarah at @by.sarahteresa has shared just such a recipe with us. Here in this post we'll explore how to make easy salted caramel brownies (recipe and instructions!).

Thanks to the simplest brownie mix ever from FunCakes, you'll be serving up this decadent dessert to friends in no time!

Brownies Recipe - what you need:

For the Brownies, you'll need...

And for the buttercream, you'll need...

  • 250g butter, room temperature
  • 450g icing sugar
  • a couple of drops of Salted Caramel flavouring (or your flavour of choice!)
  • 1–2 tbsp milk
  • few drops food colouring (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat your oven at 170 degrees celsius (fan).

Step 2: Melt your butter.

Melt 250g of butter in a saucepan. Let the butter cool down for a few minutes.

Step 3: Add eggs and brownie mix.

Transfer the butter into a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, add three eggs and the Funcakes Fudge Brownie mix.

Step 4: Mix for 5 minutes with a hand mixer or with your stand mixer.

Step 5: Time to bake!

Transfer the brownie mix into your pan(s) and bake for 30-35 min or until a skewer comes out clean.

Step 6: Leave to cool.

Let the brownies cool down and sit in the fridge for about 2-3 hours before cutting or removing from the mould.

Step 7: Make your buttercream.

To make your buttercream, beat 500g of room temperature butter in a large bowl until pale (approx. 5 min). Add half of the icing sugar and beat until smooth.

Step 8: Add your flavouring!

Add the remaining icing sugar, your flavouring of choice and 1-2 tablespoons of milk. Beat the mixture until creamy and smooth.

Step 9: Mix for 5mins.

Once everything is combined, mix on the lowest mixer setting for about 5 min to remove air bubbles.

Step 10: Pipe your buttercream.

Transfer the buttercream into a piping bag to pipe on to your brownies. Sarah finished hers off with a dusting of cocoa powder and some gold pearl sprinkles!
