Ingredients

For the Chocolate Flower Disks

  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

For the Brownies

For the Icing

  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon cool water
  • 4 ounces unsalted butter room temperatire
  • 8 ounces sifted powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

For the Chocolate Flower Disks

  • In a microwave-safe glass bowl, add white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 45 seconds intervals, mixing in between each interval, until chocolate is completely melted.
  • Lay a silpat or parchment paper on a baking sheet. Using a spoon, carefully make 1 ½ - 2 inch wide circles (about ¼ inch thick) with the melted chocolate. If necessary, make a stencil to help guide your circles.
  • Quickly decorate the chocolate circles with various edible flowers. Allow chocolate to set in the refridgerator.

For the Brownies

  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
  • In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over medium high heat.
  • Add the sugar and cocoa powder once the butter is melted. Whisk to combine and remove from heat.
  • Add the salt, vanilla, and eggs and continuously whisk until the eggs are combined.
  • Add the baking powder and flour and continue to mix. Stir until incorporated.
  • Transfer to a parchment lined 9 inch aluminum square baking pan.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake for 45 – 50 minutes until done. Allow to cool for 1-2 hours.

For the Icing

  • Dissolve cocoa powder in cool water.
  • Using a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl as necessary.
  • Gradually beat in the powdered sugar, scraping down the bowl as necessary.
  • Add the vanilla and cocoa powder mixture. Beat for an additional 2 minutes on medium speed.
  • Using an offset spatula, frost the top of the brownies. Cut brownies into 9 even squares. Decorate each piece of brownie with a white chocolate flower disk.
  • Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days.
