This is the first time I have experimented in making up my very own brownie recipe and I must admit it worked out well! When I follow certain recipes I never get the end result I want so I thought I would figure it out for myself! I was very happy with the result! So heres to more experimenting!
In this brownie you will also get a fiery hint of mint with the velvety chocolate texture that will allure your tongue for more! I’ve cut them into mini squares as they are very decadent and rich, eating a couple will be plenty and this way there is more to go round!!!
I’m bringing them along to Angie’s Fiesta Friday Party..where we all meet up and share our gorgeous food! I hope you all have a sweet tooth today…See you there! Much love D x
INGREDIENTS
200g plain chocolate 70% cocoa solids
200ml single cream
20g fresh mint finely chopped
100g unsalted butter
1tsp vanilla extract
90g soft brown sugar
70g white caster sugar
3 free range eggs
85g plain flour
2 tbsp cocoa
Pinch of salt
METHOD
• Melt the butter and chocolate in a medium non stick saucepan on a low heats. Then stir in the mint and cream turn off the heat and leave aside to cool
• Whisk the eggs and sugar until well combined, stir in the vanilla extract. Poor in the chocolate and cream mix once cooled. Fold in the flour, cocoa and salt using a figure of eight technique as not to knock the air out of the batter
• Grease and line a small square or rectangular deep baking dish. Slowly pour out the batter into the dish and place in a preheated oven at 160°c fan/180°c gas.
Bake for 30-35 minutes.
• Make sure that you take the brownie dish out as soon as the wobble in the middle of the cooked brownie goes! This is to ensure a squidgy and moist brownie!
• Leave for 10 minutes in the dish and then take out place on a cutting board and gently cut into mini squares and enjoy!

These do sound lovely. I love how you used fresh mint rather than “extract”. I don’t think I could ever figure out a baked good recipe like you did! 🙂 Lovely.
Aww Thank you! The mint is very refreshing 🙂
Wow! These look really great!
Thank you! 🙂
I love mint and chocolate together!!!
Me too x
Yum! Chocolate with mint is a fantastic combo! I like how you incorporated actual mint 😀 Bookmarking this recipe!
Thank you Ada. The fresh mint works wonders x
Decadent is right! That first photo of yours, Dimple, says it all. 🙂
Thank you John! 🙂
The mint sounds great!
Thank you! I must admit it’s quite refreshing and lifts the chocolate

One of our favourites at Christmas! You can replace the mint with orange zest for a more festive flavour!
You have me intrigued by using the fresh mint! What lovely brownies.. they look so moist…so perfect! ❤
Great experiment 👍 the photos look amazing!! X
Ohhhh girl!!! ❤ Super duper one… Yar, don't make me step into my kitchen this early 😦
Thanks dear Shruti! Wish I could make them for you and pop them round x
Great Idea, mint and chocolate 🙂
These sound delicious!! And well done for experimenting, it’s so easy to not bother just in case it doesn’t work out.
Thank you! I just love experimenting! 🙂
Wow Dimple, they look divine, can’t wait to try them x
Thank you so much…They were really tasty and so refreshing..Will definitely be making them again… enjoy x
Mint and chocolate do go really well together, but I’d never thought of using fresh mint like that. Thanks for the inspiration.
Oh I’m so happy you like it! I hope you enjoy them 🙂 have a lovely weekend!
My pleasure Hilda..I hope you enjoy them x
Gotta agree with Hilda! Mint and chocolate are a natural pair, yet it never occurred to me to use fresh mint in baking. Your ability to create your own “from scratch” recipe is inspiring, Dimple!
Thank you ever lovely Nancy!..You are too sweet x
These look decadent and delicious!!!!
Cecile honey..How are your travels?…Thank you so much x

Thank you so very much Sophie! Hope you’re well! 🙂

Your brownies certainly make me wish I wasn’t allergic to mint! Love brownies, and yours look so yummy and moist! Way to go Dimple!
Oh honey…Really? Just add orange zest instead xx
Yep….can you believe it? Who is allergic to mint, right?! 🙂 Orange zest…you know I could do that! 🙂 Yum!
That is the first I have ever heard of it..You’re very special and unique xx enjoy with the orange x
🙂
Oooh I looove that you used fresh mint in these! I’ve never used it in baking but this has definitely sparked some inspiration!
Oh, Dimple!! You have answered my silent question ‘Can I use fresh mint on brownies’. Now, I know I can and I would have to try this!! Thank you for sharing this and for bringing them to the Fiesta!! Have a lovely weekend! 🙂
Oh Dimple! Are you sure these are brownies and not fudge? They look amazingly decadent! I love mint and chocolate together! 😀
Oh Julianna..You now have me craving fudge lol 😉 Thank you so much for your lovely words as always x
wow, the mint surely would take the brownie to a different level. Great idea!
Thank you Apsara…It does lift the chocolate..Have a great weekend!
Dimple- these look so nice and moist! 🙂 And I so know the feeling when you experiment with baking and it turns out good. And I also know the flip side- has happened way too many times..in fact happened just yesterday.
Oh Dimple, you always impress me with your creativity! I never would have thought to put mint in brownies. I am also happy that your experimental recipe turned out well – when a recipe I make up turns out badly, I end up disappointed and regretting the waste of perfectly good ingredients. I always look forward to your posts on FF and this one certainly doesn’t disappoint 🙂
There is just something about chocolate and mint…they were made for each other! These sound perfect, Dimple! Have a fabulous weekend Darling! xo
There is isn’t there. I adore mint chocolates, especially truffles..ok I best stop now or I well want some now. Thanks honey…you too xx
I love this idea!!! Minty brownies… Delicious xx
Thanks M…hope you have a gorgeous weekend. I think I am going to be dreaming about your Rocky road cake tonight 🙂
wow! chocolat with mint is delicious! greetings from Italy
Simi
Ciao Simi…lovely to be in touch 🙂
Fresh mint makes a world of difference in any recipe. I grown a Kentucky Colonel variety and I cannot wait for it to “come alive” so I can use it in a recipe like yours. Unfortunately, I have to keep it contained as it spreads so much and I do not have the yard for it so my supply is limited. There is always the market… 🙂
I’m impressed you made up your own recipe, the brownies texture looks wonderful, so rich..yum! These will be eaten by the FF crowd in no time! 😀
Thank you! 😉
I am such a sucker for a good brownie… your look delish 🙂 YUM!!
Thank you so much!
What a great combination of Mint n chocolate. It must have tasted swell.
They were gooooooooood 😉
Yum, definitely craving some of these right now! 🙂
Have some…and let me know how you like them!
I love your list of ingredients Dimple. The 70% cocoa chocolate & mint! This is sure to be one decadnt brownie recipe. Yum 🙂
Yes that is true…the higher the chocolate content…the happier I am lol x
wow great photos and looks yummy i shall definitely save this to make x
Thank you sweetheart x
Dimpleee these look soo good. I am soo damn hungry now and this post is not helping me at the moment. Irresistible! 😋😋
