  • 200 g Dark Chocolate Chopped
  • 150 g Caster Sugar
  • 100 g Light Brown Sugar
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 100 g Plain Flour Sifted
  • 25 g Cocoa Powder Sifted
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

For The Mint Layer:

  • 200 g Icing Sugar Sifted
  • 50 g Butter Unsalted, softened
  • 2 tbsp Milk
  • 1/2 tsp Peppermint Extract
  • Green Food Colouring A Few Drops (Optional)

For The Chocolate Topping:

  • 150 g Dark Chocolate Chopped
  • 30 g Butter Unsalted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Grease and line a 20 cm square baking tin with baking paper.
  • In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate over a pan of simmering water. Stir until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the caster sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and creamy.
  • Gradually fold in the melted chocolate mixture.
  • Gently fold in the plain flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the surface. Bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownie cool completely in the tin.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat together the icing sugar, softened butter, milk, and peppermint extract until smooth and creamy. Add green food colouring, if using, to achieve the desired shade.
  • Spread the mint layer evenly over the cooled brownie base. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir until smooth.
  • Pour the chocolate topping over the chilled mint layer and spread evenly.
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour or until the chocolate topping is set.
  • Once set, remove the brownie from the tin and cut into 12 squares. Serve and enjoy!
