If you’re looking for a great Brownie Cupcake recipe, you’ve come to the right place! These homemade treats are easy to mix up and are perfect when topped with a swirl of homemade chocolate and vanilla cream cheese icing!

What you need for Brownie Cupcakes:

unsalted butter
Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
unsweetened cocoa powder
vanilla extract
salt
eggs
all-purpose flour
chocolate syrup

Ps. DON’T forget the chocolate syrup! I did that once with this recipe and got the driest brownies ever haha.

What you need for the frosting for these Cupcakes:

unsalted butter
cream cheese
Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar
vanilla extract
unsweetened cocoa powder

Of course you don’t have to swirl your frosting like this but it reminds me of soft serve vanilla and chocolate soft serve ice cream which makes me super happy.

It’s super easy to swirl your icings together if you decide to frost the cupcakes like this.

Just make the two flavors, take a large piping bag fitted with a 1M piping tip. Spoon the vanilla frosting on one side of bag and chocolate frosting on the other Then pipe a giant swirl onto the cupcake brownies.
