Ingredients
Brownies
- 1¼ cup sugar
- 5 tbsp butter
- 2 large eggs + 1 yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- ½ tsp instant espresso powder (optional)
- pinch of salt
- ½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips
Frosting
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup finely chopped berries of your choice I used strawberries.
- 25-30 drops CBD oil (I used Very Berry flavored Receptra Naturals CBD for Wellness)
- 2-4 tbsp semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Brownies
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9 inch round pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In large microwave safe bowl, add butter and sugar. Microwave about one minute, until butter is melted. Mix in eggs, oil and vanilla. Combine until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, corn starch, espresso powder and salt. Slowly pour into the liquid mixture and mix until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Spread into your prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes. Some moist crumbs should be on the toothpick when removed. Do not overbake. Cool completely before icing.
Frosting
- Combine cream cheese, butter, and vanilla and mix until fluffy.
- Add in the powdered sugar, and mix until combined. Gently stir in the berries until just combined. Add the CBD oil and stir.
- For the spider web, melt the chocolate in the microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring in between. Once completely melted, carefully spoon into a piping bag (or plastic baggie as I like to use) and cut a very small tip. Pipe on top of frosting in a spiral. Using a toothpick, start at the center and drag outwards in sections until you are satisfied with the spider web!
