  • Gradually add the chocolate mixture to this egg mixture and allow to stand for 10 minutes to cool further.
  • Grease a 13 x 19-inch baking pan with some butter and line the pan with parchment paper. Grease and flour the parchment paper too.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder and half the quantity of your salt into a bowl.
  • Add the chocolate mixture and whisk to blend.
  • Pour this mixture into the baking pan but set aside 2/3 of a cup.
  • Whisk together your pumpkin along with the heavy cream, brown sugar and pumpkin spice.
  • Pour this mixture over the brownie batter in the pan and see your chocolate and pumpkin brownies start to take form.
  • Drizzle the remaining chocolate batter over the top to create a swirling design.
  • Bake at 350 F for 45 to 50 minutes or until your toothpick test comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack (approximately 2 hours)
  • Lift your brownies from the pan by using the parchment paper to hold on to.
  • Remove the paper and cut into 24 delicious squares.
