Print Recipe

Create a festive and delicious Brownie Christmas Tree featuring rich, fudgy brownies stacked and decorated to resemble a holiday tree. This easy-to-make dessert adds a chocolaty centerpiece with customizable decorations, perfect for joyful gatherings and holiday celebrations.

Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • Brownie mix or homemade batter (amount per recipe)
  • Eggs (as required by brownie mix or homemade recipe)
  • Butter or oil (as required by brownie mix or homemade recipe)
  • Sugar (according to brownie mix or homemade recipe)
  • Vanilla extract (1-2 teaspoons)

Decorations

  • Green frosting or icing (enough to cover the stacked brownies)
  • Colorful sprinkles and candy decorations (as desired for decorating)
  • Mini marshmallows or white chocolate chips (for snow or ornaments effect)

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Bake Brownies: Preheat your oven according to your chosen brownie recipe or mix instructions. Grease a square or rectangular baking pan, pour in the batter evenly, and bake for 20-25 minutes until just set but still slightly moist inside.
  2. Cool and Cut into Shapes: Let the baked brownies cool completely to room temperature. Using a sharp knife or cookie cutters, cut the brownies into various triangle sizes that will serve as tiers for the Christmas tree.
  3. Stack the Brownie Layers: Begin stacking the brownie triangles starting with the largest piece as the base. Slightly offset each layer to replicate tree branches, applying a small dab of frosting between layers to secure them.
  4. Frost the Tree: Spread green frosting evenly over the entire stacked brownie structure. Texture the frosting lightly to resemble pine needles for a natural look.
  5. Decorate Festively: Adorn the frosted tree with sprinkles, mini marshmallows, candy decorations, or edible glitter. Optionally, place a small star-shaped candy or cookie on the top to complete the appearance.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife for clean, precise cuts on brownie triangles.
  • Cool brownies completely before cutting to prevent crumbling.
  • Chill the stacked tree briefly before decorating to help frosting set and stabilize layers.
  • Choose a thick frosting to better support decorations and maintain structure.
  • Get creative with edible glitter, candy canes, or colored sugar pearls for unique tree toppers.
