- 5 free-range eggs
- 300g/10½oz caster sugar
- 100g/3½oz milk chocolate, chopped
- 200g/7oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 150g/5½oz unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 150g/5½oz plain flour, sifted
- pinch ground cinnamon
- pinch ground mixed spice
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional)
- 250ml/9fl oz double cream
- 100g/3½oz milk chocolate, chopped
- 250ml/9fl oz double cream
- 1 tbsp caster sugar (or to taste)
- 2 tbsp mint, shredded
- 4 tbsp crushed honeycomb
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease and line a 23cm/9in square tray with parchment paper.
- For the brownie, whisk the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until pale and thickened.
- Melt the milk chocolate, dark chocolate and butter in a large heatproof bowl, set over a pan of simmering water (do not allow the bottom of the bowl to touch the water). Once melted set aside to cool for a few minutes.
- Stir the melted chocolate into the egg mixture to combine.
- Carefully fold in the sifted flour, spices, baking powder and cocoa powder, if using, into the mixture.
- Spoon the brownie mixture into the prepared tin, smoothing the top with a palette knife.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top springy to the touch and beginning to crack. Set aside to cool in the tin.
- For the chocolate sauce, heat the cream gently in a pan. Place the milk chocolate in a large bowl and pour the hot cream over, whisking to combine.
- For the mint cream, whip the double cream and icing sugar together in a large bowl until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed. Fold in the shredded mint.
- When the brownie is completely cool, cut into squares and place in serving bowls. Drizzle with the chocolate sauce and top with a spoonful of whipped mint cream. Sprinkle over the crushed honeycomb to serve.
