Makes 16

For the Cheesecake Mixture
1 egg
225g/8 oz/1 cup full fat cream cheese
50g/2 oz/ 1/4 cup Caster (superfine) sugar
5ml/1 tsp Vanilla Essence (extract).

For the Brownie Mixture
115g/4 oz dark (bittersweet) chocolate (minimum 70 per cent cocoa solids).
115g/4oz/ 1/2 cup unsalted butter
150g/5oz/ 3/4 cup light muscovado (brown) sugar
2 eggs, beaten
50 g/2oz/ 1/2 cup plain (all-purpose) flour

Drirections

1. Preheat the oven to 160 C. Line the base and sides of a 20 cm/8in cake tin (pan) with baking parchment.

2. To make the cheesecake mixture, beat the egg in a mixing bowl, then add the cream cheese, caster sugar and vanilla essence. Beat together until smooth and creamy.

3. To make the brownie mixture, melt the chocolate and butter together in the microwave or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. When the mixture is melted, remove from the heat, stir well, then add the sugar. Add the eggs, a little at a time, and beat well. Gently stir in the flour.

4. Spread two-thirds of the brownie mixture over the base of the tin. Spread the cheesecake mixture on top, then spoon on the remaining brownie mixture in heaps. Using a skewer, swirl the mixture together.



5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until just set in the centre. Leave to cool in the tin, then cut into squares.

My Review:
1. Cheese Cream usahakan dibiarkan pada suhu ruang dulu sebelum dicampur agak tercampur rata.
2. Karena adonan cheesecake lebih padat dan berat dibandingkan adonan coklat, ketika memasukkan adonan Cheesecake di atas adonan brownie, gunakan sendok makan lalu taruh di beberapa tempat baru ratakan dengan spatula. Kemudian baru di swirl dengan sisa adonan brownie.



Love Cheese, Love Chocolate, Glad to have Both.. :)
