Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 box brownies
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • ⅓ cup white chocolate chips

Supporting Ingredients:

  • ½ cup oil
  • 1 egg
  • ⅓ cup hot coffee

Finishing Ingredients:

  • ⅓ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Grab a mixing bowl and vigorously combine 1 box of brownie mix with ½ cup oil, ⅓ cup hot coffee, 1 egg, and 1 cup chocolate chips until your batter looks glossy and fully incorporated.
  2. Coat a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray, then pour the mixed batter into the pan. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  3. While brownies cool completely, create the topping by heating ⅓ cup heavy cream in a small saucepan until steaming but not boiling.
  4. Pour the hot cream over ⅓ cup white chocolate chips in a ceramic bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until the mixture transforms into a silky, smooth glaze.
  5. Once brownies have reached room temperature, drizzle the white chocolate mixture across the surface, spreading gently with an offset spatula.
  6. Refrigerate the pan for 15 minutes to help the topping set quickly and firmly.
  7. Trace a football shape using a sharp knife, cutting clean, precise edges across your brownies to create individual football-themed dessert pieces.

Notes

  • Swap hot coffee for hot water if preferred, as the coffee deepens the chocolate flavor without making brownies taste like coffee.
  • Select a high-quality white chocolate for the topping to ensure a smooth, creamy texture that sets nicely.
  • Use a football-shaped cookie cutter for precise and professional-looking brownie shapes, or carefully cut the design with a sharp knife.
  • For gluten-free options, choose a gluten-free brownie mix and confirm all ingredients are celiac-safe before preparing the recipe.
