Ingredients

• 120 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Dark chocolate
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 200 grams Mincemeat (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a square 20cm (8-inch) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy brownie removal.

Step 2

In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth, then remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 3

Whisk the sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the mixture until just combined.

Step 5

Add the mincemeat to the brownie batter and stir gently to distribute it evenly.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 8

Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 9

Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Dust the top with powdered sugar if desired. Slice into 9 squares and serve.
