Tips for making these Nutella cheesecake brownies?
Make the cheesecake before the brownie batter. The reason for this is if you let the brownie batter sit for a while the texture can change and become stiff.
Use a small egg as the cheesecake mix might become too runny.
Use full fat cream cheese.
Use good quality dark chocolate between 50%-60 cocoa. Do not use dark chocolate with 70% cocoa as it will be too bitter.
This recipe is very fudgy and gooey. If you bake these brownies for 30mins they will be very fudgy, 35-40mins they will not be as fudgy in the middle. Use a wooden skewer to check the brownies at 30 mins to see how wet they are inside.
