PeterPan Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 We made several things for a party last week, but these turned out to be the best! The recipe came from here http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/other-dessert/lemon-brownies.html but I changed the frosting. THE "BROWNIE" BATER 3/4 c all purpose flour 3/4 c granulated sugar 1/4 tsp salt 1 stick unsalted butter, softened 2 large eggs 2 Tbsp lemon zest 2 Tbsp lemon juice We doubled the batter and baked it in a glass 9X13. They were the perfect thickness and slightly fudgy. I think the glass pan is important for that. Sometimes a metal pan will make things bake differently. Then for the frosting, we went cream cheese. Someone asked for the recipe, so here goes! 1 pack cream cheese 2 1/2 cups confectioners sugar (measure, then sift) 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 tsp meringue powder We made a double batch and frosted three 9X13 pans. It just makes a nice thin, tart foil against the lemon. Crazy, crazy good. Like blow your diet and sit there eating four at once and come back later for more good. :D Enjoy!

Lara in Colo Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I made it last week according to the original recipe and I thought the original frosting was too runny-- so I think it was a good idea to change the frosting!!

NoseInABook Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Mmm, I love lemonies but I think the glaze is the best part. However, cream cheese frosting sounds to die for too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lara I tried a sour cream glaze the first time with some lemon juice, and that didn't do it for me. These though are pretty nice. We did zest some lemon on top, forgot that. Made them look pretty with the yellow dotting the white... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hey, OhE! Found your brownie thread! Thanks for the heads up... Mom loves all things Lemony and DS loves to bake. DS turns 10 tomorrow and we were planning on all of us watching a movie on Erwin Rommel at his request so baking and eating some brownies while watching a movie sounds like a good combo! Yeah! DD doesn't like history, but I bet she might hang around a few minutes to eat some brownies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
