These Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies are one of Simon’s most popular Sunday Brunch recipes. Dark and gooey, with creamy cheesecake marbled through rich dark chocolate, these would be delicious as a dinner party dessert with red berries and crème fraîche, or as an afternoon treat with a cup of tea.

Method

Step 1

Heat the chocolate and butter in a bowl over barely simmering water, stirring until completely melted and combined. Remove the bowl and cool slightly.

Add the 3 eggs, caster sugar, vanilla seeds and brandy. Whisk with an electric whisk.

Step 3

Sift in the flour and fold in gently to combine.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, one egg, orange zest and 50g caster sugar until smooth, to make the cheesecake layer.

Step 5

Spoon the chocolate mix into an 8" square greased, lined tin.

Step 6

Pour over the cream cheese mix and draw a knife through the mixtures to create a marbled effect.

Step 7

Bake at 160˚C for 30 minutes.
