Ingredients

For the Brownie Layer

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups sugar caster sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • cups flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips plain or dark

For the Pumpkin Layer

For the Chocolate Ganache Layer

  • 5 oz semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper.
  • To make the brownie layer, place the butter, and sugars into a large mixing bowl and cream together with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the vanilla and eggs and mix till combined.
  • In a separate bowl, sift the flour and cocoa powder, and add the salt. Add a third of this mixture to the butter and sugar mixture and beat well till combined. Add the next third and mix well, then the final third; again mixing well.
  • Using a large spoon, fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Transfer the brownie batter to the lined baking pan - the mixture will be thick, so you may find it easier to scoop it out of the bowl with a spoon. Spread the brownie batter out flat with a spatula - coating it with baking spray will prevent it from sticking!
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick in the middle of the batter/brownie comes out almost clean. You want the brownies to still be fudgy in the center!
  • Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the baking pan.
  • To make the pumpkin layer, place the butter, pumpkin, and vanilla into a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to cream together.
  • Mix in the pumpkin pie spice and salt.
  • Slowly mix in one cup of powdered sugar at a time, mixing until smooth. You may not need all cups of the sugar - it should have the consistency of a thick frosting.
  • Spread an even layer of the pumpkin mixture onto the cooled brownie and place the pan in the refrigerator for the layer to chill.
  • To make the chocolate ganache, place the chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 50% for 60-90 seconds - or until the mixture melted. Stir well.
  • Pour the ganache over the pumpkin layer and place the pan back in the fridge to cool completely and for the chocolate to set.
  • To serve, slice the triple-layer brownie into 24 small squares.
