There’s nothing quite like Valentine’s Day for an excuse to bake & eat some delicious sweet pastries and chocolates! These Fudgy Valentine’s Brownies with Heart Frosting are one of my favorites – pretty, bite-sized, and with the creamiest cream cheese frosting. They make the perfect Valentine’s treat!
Fudgy Valentine’s Brownies with Heart Frosting
These brownies with heart frosting are one of my favorites – pretty, bite-sized, and with the creamiest, delicious cream cheese frosting. The perfect Valentine’s treats!
- large metal baking pan
- foil
- nonstick spray
- large saucepan
- whisk
- medium bowl
- electric mixer
- small bowls
- small baggies/zip lock bags
Mini Brownies:
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 1 ½ cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp. espresso powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 ½ tsp. vanilla
Cream Cheese Heart Frosting:
- ½ cup of unsalted butter (1 stick, softened)
- 4 ounces of Philly cream cheese (softened)
- 2-3 cups powdered sugar (depending on desired sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Red food coloring
- Preheat the oven to 160° C (325° F)
- Prepare a large metal baking pan by placing foil inside. I recommend spraying the foil with nonstick spray.
- Stir the butter and chocolate together in a large saucepan over low heat. Once the chocolate has melted, remove it from the heat.
- Add sugar and eggs one at a time, making sure to mix and whisk throughout.
- Add the vanilla, salt, and espresso powder. Continue to mix and whisk.
- Sift the flour over the mixture and stir. Make sure it’s well blended as otherwise, the brownies will be clumpy.
- Pour the batter over the metal baking pan. Place in the oven.
- The approximate backing time of the brownies is 20 minutes. Continue to check as they can burn from one moment to the next. The top should look dry and the mixture should have risen to twice its original size. Poke the brownies with a stick – if the stick is a little moist, and the top of the brownies is dry, then you’re good to go! Remove from the oven and let it cool.
- Once cooled, use a small round cookie cutter to make the circular brownies.
Delicious yumminess, just in time for Valentine’s Day!

Yummmm! I’m always looking for great Vday recipes because I take goodies to our wholesalers and I also back for our customers! Thanks!
Yay! Glad you like it. 🙂 These are so relatively easy to make.. simple brownie recipe + icing. It’s all about making them look cute, really!
This looks so yummy! My daughter has been asking for brownies for a while and this looks like the recipe to try.
A brownie isn’t a brownie, unless it has cream cheese frosting. Well, that’s my motto anyways! I love how you shape the frosting into a heart for Valentine’s Day! Cute and delicious at the same time.
These look great! What a fun Valentine’s treat. I’m going to bake these for my first graders.
The only way for these little brownies to be any cuter is to add a kitten in the pic… or some baby bunnies… or me. ^_^ I love them. They look adorable and they look delicious. What’s not to love? Well, the extra cushioning in my backside of course, but hey… they’re brownies! Brownies with pretty hearts on them! Who could resist these?!
Wow! these look delicious! I can’t wait to try them out to be honest ^_^
These look so good! I think I’ll try this for our Valentine’s treat this year. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
These look very good. I think my kids would have a blast making (and eating) these!
Fudge and cream cheese!!! What a perfect combination! Thanks for sharing this fun Valentine’s treat!
I doubt my hearts would turn out as beautiful as yours did, but I’d like to try. These sound wonderful!
I am a huge fan of fudgy brownies! My husband likes them on the crisp side, yuck! I like a good, chewy brownie and these are so pretty for Valentine’s Day!
These look wonderful. I love brownies. Thanks for including the recipe I will whip these up for my hubs…
These look so good and just the right size –of course the question remains–will I be able to eat just one or two or will the entire pan be devoured.
Those are the cutest thing 🙂 I love how simple they are to make and they are definitely perfect for Valentine’s Day.

This is a cute Valentine’s recipe, brownies are better with cream cheese frosting!
Those are so cute. I have tried and tried to learn to decorate with frosting and all I get is things that look like my 4 year old created them. If he had done it they would be cute, lol. I will use your recipe to make frosted brownies and use heart sprinkles.
Just looking at these has my mouth watering for cheescake after reading about that creamy cheese filling. I have to give this a try but it’s not going to last long in my house. 🙂
