Glorifying Icing For Brownies
A rich, chocolatey icing that beautifully enhances brownies with marshmallow creme, perfect for those who love indulgent, sweet treats with a smooth, creamy texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the butter, 10x sugar, cocoa, and milk until smooth.
- While the brownies are still hot, cover them with marshmallow creme.
- Spread the prepared icing over the marshmallow layer to cover the brownies completely.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsweetened cocoa powder instead of 10x sugar for a darker icing. You can substitute the butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free version. If you want a thicker icing, add more powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency. Make sure to mix thoroughly to avoid lumps. This icing pairs beautifully with Mom'S Favorite brownies for an extra indulgent dessert.
Serving Suggestions
Cut into squares and serve the brownies warm or at room temperature. They pair nicely with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. You can also serve them alongside a Peanut Banana Shake for a fun twist. For added texture, sprinkle crushed nuts on top of the icing before it sets.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover brownies with icing in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you need to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to a week. To enjoy again, gently reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or until just warm, ensuring the icing stays soft and creamy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this icing ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the icing ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Before using, let it come to room temperature and mix it well to restore its smooth consistency. This makes it convenient to use whenever you're ready to ice your brownies.
What can I use instead of marshmallow creme?
If you don't have marshmallow creme, you can use whipped cream or a layer of ganache as an alternative. Whipped cream will provide a lighter texture, while ganache offers a rich chocolate flavor. Both options will give a delicious twist to the brownies.
Can I add flavors to the icing?
Absolutely! You can enhance the icing by adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt for a flavor contrast. For a chocolate mint version, consider adding a few drops of mint extract. Experimenting with flavors can make this icing even more delightful.
