Fudgy Cheesecake Stuffed Brownies

These fudgy cheesecake brownies are two desserts in one…my kinda dessert! They are super easy to make which I love and are devoured in minutes.

WHAT DO THESE CHEESECAKE BROWNIES TASTE LIKE?

The brownies are very chocolatey in flavour as they are made with cocoa and dark chocolate. Not too sweet and are taken to another level by the creamy cheesecake filling. They are very rich and indulgent and are quite moreish.

The cheesecake layer is an amazing edition to these already delicious brownies. It’s so easy to make, you just mix all the. ingredients together! That’s it!

The cross section of these brownies looks so impressive, they are a great treat to make for guests or a comforting weekend dessert. Then again do we really need a reason to make brownies…um I think not!

BROWNIE MAKING TIPS

• Use good quality chocolate, it really does make a difference. I personally use a dark chocolate that’s 56% cocoa solids. Don’t go higher than 60%, your brownies would be too bitter.
• Use butter over margarine for a richer flavour.
• Do not over bake your brownies, check them 5 mins before the total baking time.
• When you do check you brownies use a wooden skewer, the metal ones can come out clean when in fact the brownies are not done. (The mixture sticks to the wooden skewers better)
• Don’t forget to line your brownie tin so you can easily lift them out once they have cooled.
• If you under bake your brownies (which can easily happen with fudgy brownies, they are deceptive little things) pop them in the fridge before serving which will firm them up a bit. Otherwise serve them warm like a pudding with ice cream.
