Instructions

For the brownie base

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

Chop the chocolate into chunks. Melt half of the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, saving the other half for later.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer, then beat in the eggs and vanilla for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in color.

Step 4

Whisk in the melted chocolate (make sure it's not too hot or else the eggs will cook), then sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold to incorporate the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix as this will cause the brownies to be more cake-like in texture.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chunks, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on how fudgy you like your brownies, then cool completely.

Mint Frosting

Step 7

Whisk softened cream cheese and butter until well creamed together.

Step 8

Whisk in milk & peppermint extract.

Step 9

Whisk in powdered sugar in 3rds, I just find it easier to incorporated in this way.

Step 10

Spread an even layer over the cooled brownies and place in the freezer to chill while you make the ganache

For the ganache

Step 11

Over a double boiler, melt the chocolate and butter together. Stirring frequently to ensure it doesn't burn

Step 12

Once melted, remove from heat.

Step 13

Once the mint frosting layer has cooled completely and become stiff, pour over chocolate ganache. Tilt the pan to shift ganache until all the brownies are covered
