CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE BROWNIES

October 7, 2013 By Manu 5 Comments

Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies

Chocolate. Cheesecake. Brownies.  Yes, you read that right.  They are 3 treats that I love on their own, so when I saw this recipe over at my friend Lizzy’s That Skinny Chick Can Bake! I knew these brownies would taste amazing.  How awesome is it to combine three scrumptious desserts into one??  What you get is hard to describe, it has to be tasted.  It is like an explosion of chocolate in your palate and the textures are so complex that your brain gets a bit confused (though I think that happens because they are so good that the brain stops working all together): the cheesecake layer is smooth and creamy and the brownie layer is moist and cakey.  And it all tastes of… chocolate.  Need I say more??  Yum!  Thank you so much Lizzy for yet another fantastic recipe, you will always be the Queen of chocolate desserts to me! 🙂  Enjoy!

    Hi Manuela,

    I tried making this today but the cheesecake part was still wobbly and soft. Was there something wrong or should i have added some flour to the cheesecake as well?
    P.s i used homemade cream cheese with hing curd.

      Hi Ritu. Was it really wobbly? And did you use the egg? Maybe the hung curd was not as “dry” as the store bought cream cheese. Instead of adding flour, just increase the cocoa powder amount (depending on how wobbly it was), hopefully that will be enough to set it.
