0:04
I'm gonna, already done it, y'all.
0:10
and everybody knows how to make a brownie I think
0:12
but in case you don't,
0:15
let me recommend if you want a quick brownie,
0:18
the Duncan Hines Chewy Brownie Mix is very, very good so,
0:25
but if you have your favorite chocolate brownie recipe,
0:32
but now I'm gonna make an orange frosting for this
0:35
and in one of my cookbooks, I have an orange,
0:40
orange brownie which is totally separate from this
0:44
that is out of this world.
0:46
Y'all need to try it.
0:47
Orange, orange brownies.
0:50
Oh my gosh, they're so good.
0:52
A girl gave that to me.
0:54
She came in the restaurant one day
0:56
and I sat down, just started talking to her
0:59
and she had won like a Pillsbury bake off or something
1:04
and her prize, she won a refrigerator.
1:07
So I said, well, would you share the recipe with me
1:10
'cause I'm fixing to write a cookbook
1:13
and she said, "yes, I'd love to."
1:15
So check out that recipe.
1:17
But this one is totally different.
1:19
You can use this frosting on cakes, cupcakes,
1:23
brownies, whatever you wanna do
1:26
and it's one of those super, super simple ones.
1:28
I'm gonna start with one stick of softened butter
1:33
and one eight ounce package
1:35
of softened cream cheese at room temperature.
1:38
And I'm just gonna beat that up
1:44
and I cooked my brownies earlier so they're nice and,
1:49
nice and room temperature.
1:55
I'm just gonna beat this up.
1:58
And because I had it at room temperature,
2:00
it's gonna be real, real easy.
2:09
about a tablespoon and a half of orange juice.
2:15
And you can see I took the zest off of one whole orange
2:23
so that's really gonna give it that orange flavor.
2:27
- [Michael] Zest with a jest.
2:31
- I'm not jesting, I'm zesting.
2:35
Aunt Peggy, we get tickled 'cause she calls it jesting.
2:41
"You want me to jest this?"
2:46
- [Michael] All good. - Oh, she's funny, isn't she?
2:51
Okay, so there's our orange
2:53
and I'm gonna need four cups of confectioners' sugar.
2:59
So I'll add this a little bit at a time.
3:04
It's gonna make a ton, a ton of icing
3:10
for that little old pan of brownies.
3:14
You know what, I probably just need
3:16
to make this a half recipe, Eddie, don't you think?
3:20
- [Eddie] For that size, sure.
3:22
- Or maybe I'll put one more cup
3:25
but it calls the four cups of confectioners' sugar.
3:36
Like one and a half tablespoons of orange juice.
3:41
Let's see how much I did.
3:45
Look at that, one and a half tablespoons.
3:48
Lulu's over here begging for something.
3:51
All right, to get me the color I want it.
3:58
I'm just gonna put a little bit.
4:10
And the recipe doesn't call for this but I'm doing it.
4:17
oh, it smells just like that orange sitting there.
4:25
I'm gonna have to add my food coloring
4:29
a little bit at a time.
4:32
All right, I'm gonna go ahead and add that last cup
4:35
of confectioners' sugar 'cause I don't wanna mess this up.
4:42
And I may have to add a little bit more food coloring.
4:49
That looks like orange, sure but doesn't it?
4:52
- [Paula] Looks like it would be ice cold.
4:56
I think I'm gonna put a little bit more, Eddie.
5:00
- [Eddie] It looks, it looks fine just the way it is but-
5:03
- [Paula] But. - [Eddie] A little darker.
5:04
- Go Paula, go Paula.
5:21
All right, now to add my zest.
5:24
And I never add my zest with these beaters
5:30
because my zest gets caught up in the beaters
5:35
and I don't wanna lose one drop
5:40
of that wonderful flavorful jest.
5:46
We got to get Aunt Peggy up.
5:47
I got to feed her supper, Michael.
5:58
I'm gonna give it a little taste
5:59
and see if I got enough extract in it.
6:05
I'm gonna put a little bit more.
6:18
'Cause I do want that orange flavor to come through.
6:29
Okay, one more taste.
6:38
That's good and it's just that easy and simple, y'all.
6:43
Got some plain powdered sugar in there.
6:46
Now, I put nuts in my brownies
6:48
so it's not necessary to put any nuts in my frosting.
7:02
That's pretty, pretty, pretty.
7:11
This would make some pretty cupcakes, Eddie, wouldn't it?
7:18
- [Paula] Maybe for Easter.
7:20
Now, I like my brownies kinda crunchy
7:24
so I may have cooked these a little too much
7:29
- [Eddie] Crunchy. - Mhm.
7:30
But I just like it kinda crunchy.
7:37
So the one person you wanna please is yourself, right?
7:58
I love that crispy, crispy edge.
8:04
and if you're putting this on a layered cake,
8:15
you might not want to use as much orange juice as I used
8:23
'cause you don't want it sliding all around
8:29
So y'all try it and I'm leaving you knowing I love y'all.
8:35
