Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter and line a 20cm x 30cm deep baking tin with baking parchment. To make the cream cheese mix, beat together the cream cheese, vanilla extract, caster sugar and eggs until smooth and creamy.
  2. To make the brownie mix, melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water or in 20-second blasts in the microwave. Stir until smooth then cool slightly.
  3. In another bowl whisk together the caster sugar and eggs. Add the melted chocolate and butter mix and stir until combined. Sieve the flour and fold into the mixture.
  4. Pour 3/4 of the chocolate mix into the prepared tin and level with a palette knife. Spoon over the cream cheese mix. Add the remaining chocolate mixture in dollops and tap the tin sharply on the work surface to level the mixtures. Using a skewer, marble the mixtures together. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until just set in the middle. Cool in the tin before cutting into squares.

    What went wrong ????? The cream cheese mix sank to the bottom in a layer. Any idea why? It was quite runny to start with, Do I need to mix it till it thickens? Thanks in advance Chesty

    lovely recipe - I too had to resist eating it all! I used margarine rather than butter and it worked fine. I had to chill it in the fridge so I could cut it up though.

    Why meringue? This is sort of like a moist brownie. Chocolate was cakey and cheese cake bit was cheese cake-ish. No hint of meringue in mine, perhaps it went wrong. Still enjoyed it, but not what I was expecting.

    These were absolutely awesome! They kept for days and it took a lot of resistance to make them last that long! It does have to chill in the fridge for a while before I could cut them. If you love brownies and cheesecake, this recipe is spectacular.
