Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar until glossy. Incorporate the eggs, vanilla extract, and green gel food coloring until smooth.
  3. Sift together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Fold this mixture into the wet ingredients without over-mixing.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 24 to 28 minutes, until the center is set but slightly soft.
  5. Remove the brownies and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 30-45 minutes.
  6. Beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Gradually add milk or heavy cream until spreadable.
  7. Spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the cooled brownies. Optionally, sprinkle green sprinkles on top.
  8. Refrigerate the frosted brownies for about 30 minutes before slicing for clean cuts.
