Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 18.3 ounce box fudgy brownie mix
- 2 large eggs
- ⅔ cup vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons water
Frosting
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 teaspoons festive sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare Silicone Molds: Lightly spray 3, 8-slot egg-shaped silicone molds with nonstick spray to ensure brownies release easily after baking.
- Make Brownie Batter: Prepare the brownie batter according to the package directions, mixing all ingredients until smooth. Using a cookie scoop, spoon enough batter into each egg-shaped cavity until it’s about 3/4 full.
- Bake the Brownies: Bake the molds at 350°F for approximately 22 minutes, checking a few minutes early. Test for doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center; it should come out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Create a Cavity: Remove the brownies from the oven and immediately, while still warm, gently press the back of a tablespoon into the center of each brownie to make a small cavity. Let the brownies cool completely in the molds.
- Make the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with a handheld mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Pipe Frosting: Transfer the cream cheese frosting to a piping bag fitted with a 1M tip. Pipe a tall swirl of frosting into each brownie cavity, mimicking the look of deviled eggs. If the frosting is too soft, chill it for up to 30 minutes to firm it up, but avoid chilling too long to prevent it from becoming too stiff to pipe.
- Add Sprinkles: Top each swirled frosting with 1-2 teaspoons of festive sprinkles for a colorful and fun finish.
- Serve Creatively: For the full visual effect, place the finished deviled brownies on a deviled egg tray before serving. Enjoy this whimsical and delicious treat!
Notes
- Use a nonstick silicone mold shaped like eggs to achieve the playful deviled egg appearance.
- Check brownies a few minutes before the recommended baking time as ovens vary; doneness is indicated by a toothpick with a few moist crumbs.
- Softened cream cheese should be at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Adjust sprinkles quantity or type to match the occasion or theme.
- If frosting is too soft to pipe nicely, chill briefly but not too long to maintain pipeability.
