Chocolate Cheesecake Brownie

Hey again,
This slice was raved about in our house, 5 out of 5 stars. Its definitely going in the family recipe book.
Its got the texture of a brownie and the great taste of a cheesecake.
Give it a go :)

Ingredients :

  • Melted butter, to grease
  • 150g butter, chopped
  • 300g good-quality dark cooking chocolate, chopped
  • 3 eggs
  • 215g (1 cup) caster sugar
  • 225g (1 1/2 cups) plain flour
  • 65g (1/4 cup) sour cream
  • 1 x 250g pkt cream cheese, at room temperature

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush a square 20cm cake pan with melted butter to lightly grease. Line the base with baking paper.
  2. Combine the butter and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool.
  3. Whisk 2 of the eggs in a small bowl. Add whisked eggs and 2/3 cup of the sugar to the chocolate mixture, and stir to combine. Add the flour and sour cream and stir until well combined.
  4. Use an electric beater to beat the cream cheese and remaining sugar in a bowl until smooth. Add the remaining egg and beat until just combined.
  5. Spoon chocolate and cream cheese mixtures, alternately, over base of pan. Use a skewer to swirl to create a marble effect. Bake in oven for 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Set aside in the pan for 1 hour to cool. Cut into squares serve and enjoy.
