BROWNIES WITH ORANGE ICING (FROSTING)
I've fallen in love with the chocolate and orange combination and wanted a brownie recipe to add to my collection. This is what I came up with. I didn't measure the zest or juice. I used half the zest of a large orange in each part and squeezed in enough orange juice to make a smooth icing.

Tips:

- Don't overmix the brownie batter. Overmixing will result in tough, chewy brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the brownies in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that they bake evenly.
- Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Use a good quality cream cheese for the frosting. This will help to ensure that the frosting is smooth and creamy.
- Add a little bit of orange zest to the frosting for a citrusy flavor.
