Cheesecake Brownie

I haven't made any brownies for a very long time. The last time I looked into a brownie recipe was two years ago... WOW... That has been a while... This brownie tastes soooo good! It has cheesecake and brownie, PERFECT!

Cheesecake Brownie

(makes an 8x8 inch brownie)

Ingredients - Brownie:
50g cocoa powder
45g cake flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
100g chocolate
100g butter (softened)
140g sugar
2 eggs

Ingredients - Cheesecake:

250g cream cheese (softened)
60g sugar
1 egg

Method - Brownie:

1. Mix the cake flour, baking powder and cocoa powder together. Sift the mixture and set aside.
2. Melt the chocolate over some hot water. Set aside.
3. Cream the butter and sugar together until it is light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time and combine well.
5. Add the melted chocolate and combine well.
6. Add the flour into the mixture and fold. It should have a mousse-like texture.
7. Reserve three big spoonfuls of the brownie batter. Pour the rest into the pan and spread it out evenly.

Method - Cheesecake:

1. Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the egg and beat until just combined.
3. Pour the cheesecake batter over the top of the brownie batter. Spoon 16 dollops of the reserved brownie batter on top of the cheesecake batter. 
4. Using a knife, chopstick or skewer, swirl the two mixtures together to create the marble effect.Be careful not to mix and over swirl the two mixtures.
5. Bake in a pre - heated oven at 150C for 35 - 40 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out with wet crumbs.
