Easter Deviled Brownies with Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe
Introduction
These Easter Deviled Brownies with Cream Cheese Frosting Delight are a fun and festive twist on traditional brownies. Shaped like eggs and topped with a fluffy cream cheese and marshmallow frosting, they make a perfect treat for spring celebrations.
Ingredients
- 18.3 oz Brownie Mix (plus water, oil, and eggs as per package directions)
- 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened, at room temperature)
- 7 oz Marshmallow Cream (can substitute with peanut butter)
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare the brownie batter according to the package directions by mixing the brownie mix with water, oil, and eggs until well combined.
- Step 2: Grease 2-3 egg-shaped silicone molds with nonstick cooking spray. Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, carefully fill each cavity with the brownie batter without overfilling.
- Step 3: Bake the molds in the oven for 24-26 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean when the brownies are done.
- Step 4: Immediately after baking, use a 1/2 teaspoon to gently press into the center of each brownie to form a small divot. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the molds.
- Step 5: In a bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and marshmallow cream until smooth and fluffy. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a 1M tip.
- Step 6: Once the brownies are fully cooled, carefully remove them from the molds. Pipe the cream cheese filling into the divots and sprinkle with colorful sprinkles if desired.
- Step 7: Refrigerate the filled brownies until ready to serve to keep the frosting firm and fresh.
Tips & Variations
- Substitute marshmallow cream with peanut butter for a rich, nutty flavor.
- Use different shaped silicone molds to create seasonal or themed brownies year-round.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips on top for added texture.
Storage
Store the filled brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Before serving, let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly. These brownies are best enjoyed chilled due to the cream cheese frosting.

FAQs
Can I make these brownies without silicone molds?
Yes, you can bake the brownie batter in a regular pan and cut into shapes once cooled, but the egg-shaped presentation is best achieved with silicone molds.
How can I soften the cream cheese quickly?
Leave the cream cheese out at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or microwave it in 10-second intervals until soft but not melted.
