Ingredients

To make these delicious Deviled Brownies, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Brownies

• 18.3 oz brownie mix and ingredients to make brownies (usually water, oil, and eggs)

For the Filling

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 7 oz vegan marshmallows cream
• Sprinkles (optional)

How to Make Deviled Brownies

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the brownie batter according to the package directions.

Step 2: Prepare the Molds

Grease your silicone egg-shaped molds well with nonstick cooking spray. Use a 2 tablespoon portion scoop to fill each cavity with brownie batter.

Step 3: Bake the Brownies

Bake for 24 to 26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 4: Create Divots

Remove brownies from the oven. While they are still hot, use a 1/2 teaspoon to gently press into the center of each brownie to create a divot.

Step 5: Cool Completely

Let brownies cool completely in the mold. Do not rush this step; ensuring they cool properly will help maintain their shape.

Step 6: Release from Molds

Once fully cooled, carefully pull back the silicone mold and invert it to release the brownie eggs.

Step 7: Flatten if Necessary

Lightly press the bottom of each brownie egg on a flat surface to flatten slightly, as they may be rounded.

Step 8: Prepare the Filling

Beat together cream cheese and vegan marshmallows cream until smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed for an even mixture.

Step 9: Pipe Filling into Brownies

Transfer the filling into an 18-inch pastry bag fitted with a 1M piping tip. Pipe filling into each brownie divot and top with sprinkles if desired.

Step 10: Refrigerate Until Ready to Serve

Refrigerate your Deviled Brownies until ready to serve. Enjoy this festive treat!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When making Deviled Brownies, it’s easy to overlook a few key steps. Here are some common mistakes to avoid for the best results.

• Skipping the Cooling Step – Allowing the brownies to cool completely in the mold is crucial for maintaining their shape. Rushing this step may cause them to break apart.
• Overfilling the Molds – Using too much batter can lead to overflowing and uneven shapes. Stick to the recommended 2 tablespoons per cavity for perfect egg shapes.
• Not Pressing the Divot Deep Enough – A shallow divot will not hold enough filling, making for a less satisfying treat. Ensure you gently press down with a 1/2 teaspoon to create ample space for the cream cheese filling.
• Ignoring Consistency of Filling – If your cream cheese and marshmallow mixture is lumpy, it won’t pipe well. Beat until completely smooth for a beautiful finish.
• Neglecting Refrigeration – Failing to refrigerate before serving can result in a messy presentation. Chill your Deviled Brownies until you’re ready to serve for the best texture and flavor.
