Frosted Galaxy Brownies are rich, fudgy chocolate brownies topped with a creamy, colorful galaxy-themed frosting and shimmering sprinkles, perfect for parties and space-themed events.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (for frosting)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • Food coloring (blue, purple, black)
  • Galaxy or star-themed edible sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla.
  3. Beat in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  4. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely.
  6. To make frosting, beat 1/2 cup butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until fluffy.
  7. Divide frosting into 2–3 bowls and tint each with different food coloring (blue, purple, black).
  8. Spoon dollops of each color onto the cooled brownies and swirl with a knife to create a galaxy effect.
  9. Top with edible galaxy sprinkles and let frosting set before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • For a richer brownie, add 1/4 cup melted chocolate to the batter.
  • Chill brownies before slicing for cleaner edges.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
