Zombie Brain Brownie Cups
Servings 12 brownies
Ingredients
¼ Cup cornstarch8 oz white fondant1 neon green gel food coloring1 box brownie mix3 Tbsp water½ Cup canola oil2 large eggs1 Cup white chocolate chips? Cup heavy whipping cream1 Cup corn syrup
Instructions
Remove the fondant from the package and dust hands with cornstarch. Work the fondant until soft. Make an indent in the center of the fondant and add in a few drops of neon green gel food coloring. Work the food coloring into the fondant until completely dyed
Using the painting brush, dust the inside of the mold with cornstarch.
Pinch off about 3 tablespoons of fondant and press into the mold. Carefully remove the fondant from the mold and place onto a cookie sheet lined with a silicone mat.
Repeat steps for 11 more brains
Allow the fondant brains to air dry overnight.
Mix in a few drops of the neon green food coloring into the corn syrup.
Using the smaller brush, dip it into the corn syrup and gently brush it over the brains. Set aside while you make the brownies.
Follow the directions on the back of the brownie box.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray the mini cupcake pan with baking spray.
Fill each cavity ¾ way full.
Bake in the oven for 28-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Press the brownie in slightly with the back of the paintbrush or spoon to make the cavity bigger. Allow to cool completely.
Using a small pot, bring the heavy whipping cream to a simmer. Whisk in a few drops of the neon green food coloring.
Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate chips in a bowl. Allow to sit for 2 minute before whisking until smooth.
Remove the brownie from the pan.
Spoon on 2 tablespoon of ganache onto the top of the brownies and carefully place the fondant brain in the center of the ganache.
Enjoy
Notes
Depending on how deep your fondant mold is, you can create a secret cavity in the brain, so it isn’t all fondant, and hide sprinkles or candies inside.
