Ingredients

  • 1 cup (220g) caster sugar
  • 3 Coles Australian Free Range Eggs
  • 1 cup (150g) plain flour
  • 1/3 cup (35g) cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup (80g) sour cream
  • 2 tsp ground ginger

  • 200g cooked gingerbread men biscuits
  • 50g Coles Belgian White Chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 50g Coles Belgian 70% Dark Chocolate, extra, coarsely chopped

Method

STEP 1

Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line the base and sides of a 20cm square (base measurement) cake pan, allowing the sides to overhang. Combine the butter and dark chocolate in a medium saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until butter and chocolate melt and mixture is well combined. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Add the sugar and eggs. Stir to combine. Add the flour, cocoa powder, sour cream, ginger and mixed spice. Stir to combine.

STEP 2

Coarsely chop one-quarter of the gingerbread men. Add to the chocolate mixture with the white chocolate and extra dark chocolate.

STEP 3

Pour into the prepared pan. Arrange the remaining gingerbread over the surface. Bake for 40-45 mins or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out with crumbs attached. Set aside in the pan to cool completely. Cut into pieces to serve.
