Layered Peppermint Brownies

October 12, 2025 by Soukaina ALHYANE
Layered Peppermint Brownies are the ultimate holiday dessert—rich, fudgy, and irresistibly festive. They combine three decadent layers: a dense chocolate brownie base, a creamy peppermint frosting, and a smooth chocolate ganache topping sprinkled with crushed candy canes. Every bite delivers the perfect balance of chocolatey indulgence and cool peppermint flavor. These brownies are perfect for Christmas parties, cookie exchanges, or gifting. They look elegant, taste incredible, and can be made ahead for stress-free holiday entertaining. Whether you’re a chocolate lover or just want a show-stopping dessert, these layered peppermint brownies will steal the spotlight at any celebration. Ingredients For the Brownie Layer: 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter 2 cups granulated sugar 4 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon baking powder For the Peppermint Frosting Layer: ½ cup unsalted butter, softened 2 cups powdered sugar 2 tablespoons heavy cream (or milk) ½ teaspoon peppermint extract A few drops of red or pink food coloring (optional) For the Chocolate Ganache Topping: 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips ½ cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon butter (for shine) Crushed candy canes or peppermint pieces, for topping Preparation Step 1: Make the Brownie Base Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Melt butter in a saucepan. Remove from heat and whisk in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined. Spread batter evenly into the pan and bake 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Let brownies cool completely before adding frosting. Step 2: Prepare the Peppermint Frosting Beat softened butter with powdered sugar until fluffy. Add peppermint extract and heavy cream, beating until smooth. Add food coloring for a festive pink hue, if desired. Spread frosting evenly over cooled brownies. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up. Step 3: Make the Ganache Topping Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering (don’t boil). Pour over chocolate chips and let sit 2 minutes. Add butter and stir until smooth. Pour ganache over chilled frosting and spread evenly. Step 4: Add Peppermint Crunch Sprinkle crushed candy canes or peppermint pieces on top while ganache is still warm. Step 5: Chill & Slice Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing into bars. Variations Dark Chocolate Lovers: Use dark cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips. Mint Chocolate Twist: Replace peppermint extract with mint extract for a milder flavor. Gluten-Free Version: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Frosting-Free Option: Skip frosting for a simpler peppermint ganache brownie. Cooking Notes Let brownies cool completely before layering or frosting will melt. Store in the fridge for clean slices and firm layers. These brownies taste even better the next day once flavors meld. Serving Suggestions Serve chilled or at room temperature. Pair with hot cocoa, peppermint coffee, or milk. Stack and wrap in clear bags with ribbon for holiday gifts. Tips Use good-quality cocoa for the best flavor. For perfect layers, chill each one before adding the next. Crush candy canes just before topping so they stay crisp. Cut brownies with a hot knife for neat edges. Timing Prep Time: 25 minutes Baking Time: 30 minutes Chilling Time: 1–2 hours Total Time: About 2 hours 30 minutes Nutritional Information (per brownie, 16 servings) Calories: 365 Protein: 4g Sodium: 170mg FAQs Q1: Can I make layered peppermint brownies ahead of time? Yes, they can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the fridge. Q2: Can I freeze these brownies? Yes, freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Q3: Can I use boxed brownie mix? Yes, just bake and cool before adding frosting and ganache layers. Q4: Can I skip the peppermint extract? Yes, replace it with vanilla for classic chocolate layered brownies. Q5: How do I prevent ganache from cracking? Make sure frosting layer is cold but not frozen before adding warm ganache. Conclusion Layered Peppermint Brownies are the perfect holiday dessert—rich, creamy, and beautifully festive. With a fudgy brownie base, refreshing peppermint frosting, and glossy chocolate ganache, they deliver the ideal balance of decadence and seasonal flavor. Perfect for Christmas parties, cookie trays, or edible gifts, these brownies are guaranteed to become a holiday baking tradition.

Overnight French Toast Casserole

October 11, 2025 by Soukaina ALHYANE
Overnight French Toast Casserole is a rich, custard-like breakfast bake that makes mornings easy and stress-free. By preparing everything the night before, you wake up to a dish that’s ready to pop in the oven, filling your kitchen with the irresistible aroma of cinnamon, vanilla, and baked bread. Perfect for Christmas morning, Easter brunch, or lazy weekends, this casserole captures all the flavors of classic French toast without the need to flip slices on a skillet. Made with chunks of bread soaked in a creamy custard and baked until golden, it’s finished with a drizzle of maple syrup or dusting of powdered sugar for the ultimate breakfast indulgence. Ingredients 1 loaf French bread or brioche, cut into 1-inch cubes (day-old works best) 8 large eggs 2 cups whole milk (or half-and-half for extra richness) ½ cup heavy cream ½ cup brown sugar ¼ cup granulated sugar 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ teaspoon nutmeg (optional) ¼ teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons butter, melted (for drizzling) Maple syrup and powdered sugar (for serving) Preparation Step 1: Prepare Bread Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter. Arrange cubed bread evenly in the dish. Step 2: Make Custard In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, cream, sugars, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt until well blended. Step 3: Assemble Casserole Pour custard evenly over bread cubes, pressing down lightly to help absorb. Cover tightly with foil and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours). Step 4: Bake Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove dish from fridge 20 minutes before baking. Drizzle melted butter over the top. Bake covered for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake another 20–25 minutes until golden and set. Step 5: Serve Let rest 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup. Variations Berry French Toast Casserole: Add blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries before baking. Apple Cinnamon: Layer in sliced apples sautéed with cinnamon and sugar. Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle pecans or walnuts on top before baking. Cream Cheese Swirl: Add dollops of sweetened cream cheese between bread layers. Cooking Notes Brioche or challah bread gives the best texture. For a crispier top, broil for 2 minutes at the end of baking. If you prefer less sweetness, reduce brown sugar slightly. Serving Suggestions Pair with bacon or sausage for a savory balance. Serve with fresh fruit salad for brightness. Add whipped cream or flavored syrups for a decadent brunch. Tips Use slightly stale bread—it absorbs custard better. Prep the night before for easy holiday mornings. Store leftovers in fridge up to 4 days or freeze slices for 2 months. Reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture. Timing Prep Time: 20 minutes Chill Time: 6+ hours (overnight recommended) Cooking Time: 55 minutes Total Time: 7+ hours (including chill) Nutritional Information (per serving, 8 servings) Calories: 420 Protein: 13g Sodium: 470mg FAQs Q1: Can I use regular sandwich bread? Yes, but it won’t be as fluffy. Thick breads like brioche or challah are best. Q2: Can I prepare overnight French toast casserole the same day? Yes, but let it soak at least 1–2 hours for best results. Q3: Can I make this dairy-free? Yes, substitute almond or oat milk and dairy-free cream. Q4: Can I freeze this casserole? Yes, bake first, cool completely, then freeze. Reheat before serving. Q5: Can I add toppings before baking? Yes, nuts, fruit, or streusel topping work wonderfully. Conclusion Overnight French Toast Casserole is a make-ahead breakfast that delivers all the comfort of classic French toast with none of the hassle. With a custard-soaked bread base, warm cinnamon flavor, and golden baked finish, it’s the perfect dish for holidays, brunches, or any morning when you want something indulgent yet easy.
