Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 2 cups (240g) of powdered sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons (30ml) milk
  • 1 and 1/4 teaspoons peppermint extract
  • 1 drop liquid or gel green food coloring optional

Instructions 

  • Step 1: Cream the butter with a stand mixer handheld beater using a paddle attachment for 2 minutes or until it is smooth.
  • Step 2: Add the milk and sift the powdered sugar on top of the creamed butter.
  • Step 3: Beat on low speed for 2 minutes and switch to high speed for another minute after that.
  • Step 4: Add gel food coloring if you are using any, and the peppermint extract.
  • Step 5: Beat for another minute on high again.
  • Step 6: Taste and add more extract or coloring if desired.

Notes

We recommend gel food coloring because it will not change the proportions of the recipe, but it is totally optional! We find that mint green adds a great contrast with the deep brown of the brownies.
Peppermint extract is better than mint because it tastes a bit more like spearmint than true mint, but this depends on your personal preference. Still, it is very strong so be careful not to add too much.
Use the frosting right away over cooled brownies. This is very important, if not the frosting will melt and everything will become a mess. Once you have spread it over them, put it right into the fridge so that it can set until you are ready to serve them.
You can cover them with a layer of chocolate ganache or you can choose to add some sprinkles on top. You can even draw a design using some drops of food coloring and a fork, swirling some deeper green over top.
