Serves

Ingredients
175g Co-op unsalted butter, cubed, plus extra for greasing
175g Co-op Irresistible Fairtrade
70% cocoa dark chocolate, broken into squares
3 large Co-op British free range eggs
250g Fairtrade caster sugar
85g Co-op plain white flour
40g Co-op Fairtrade cocoa powder
4 Co-op Irresistible mini mince pies, halved
Method
Put the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the base of the bowl doesn’t touch the water
Melt, stirring regularly, then set aside to cool
Use an electric mixer to whisk together the eggs and sugar, until pale, thick and mousse-like — this may take up to 10 mins, depending on your mixer
Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4
Grease and line a shallow 20cm square tin with greaseproof paper
Gently fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture, sift in the flour and cocoa, and fold together
Pour into the tin
Arrange the mince pie halves on top, some upright and some flat, pushing them most of the way into the mixture
Bake for 30-35 mins. Leave to cool in the tin
Cut into 8 pieces to serve
