I always see bartering system as a win-win situation. For example, I baked a tray of cheesecake brownie for Miss SC and in return she helped me to cook a big pot of Malaysian Beef Rendang (beef slow cooked in coconut milk and spices) for a party I am hosting tomorrow. She has the recipe for the best Rendang I have tasted which of course I will share with you next week.
Hence, I am baking again!
I love this cheesecake brownie recipe because the ratio of the cheesecake and the brownie is almost 1:1. How good is that to have two of the yummiest desserts in one mouthful? Try it!
Chocolate Cheesecake Brownie Recipe
(Adapted from Donna Hay Chocolate)
Makes 16 slices
Ingredients
185 g (6 1/2 oz) butter, melted
1/4 cup (30 g / 1 oz) cocoa powder, sifted
1 cup (220 g / 7 3/4 oz) caster (superfine) sugar
2 eggs
1 cup (150 g / 5 1/4 oz) plain (all-purpose) flour, sifted
Cheesecake:
285 g (10 oz) cream cheese, softened and chopped
4 1/2 tbsp caster (superfine) sugar
2 eggs
Method
- Preheat the oven to 160C (320F). Place the butter, cocoa, sugar, eggs and flour in a bowl and mix well until smooth. Spoon into a 20cm (8 in) square slice tin lined with non-stick baking paper.
- To make the cheesecake, process the cream cheese, sugar and eggs in a food processor until smooth. Place large spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture on top of the chocolate mixture and swirl with a butter knife. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until set. Cool in the tin. Cut into 16 slices.

Wow, this brownies look amazing. Very tempting!
LOL yup.. this is definitely "the dessert" two of the greatest dessert inventions in one.
I came across the idea of a cheesecake brownie when searching for different cheesecake recipes. Must try to make it!
I want!!! You're right, 2 of the best desserts put together ... how not to like?! And you made them look so pretty!
I must try these! The last cheesecake brownies I attempted had a much-too-high brownie to cheesecake ratio.
That Beef Redang sounds so good. I can't wait to see the recipe - I'm gonna subscribe so I don't miss it! :D
Hmmm...those brownies look delicious. Most cheesecake brownies I see do seem to have an uneven ratio of brownies to cheesecake.
Oooh I can't tell who got the better end of the deal here, those look so naughty but droolworthy! Can't wait to try this rendang ;)
yummm!! m drooling already!! this cheese cake broenie sound delish!! a must try :)
They look soooo good! Can't wait for the rendang recipe!
Oh boy, the anticipation...!
Intersting concept of putting the two together. I imagine it would be super rich though.
!!!
yummy brownies + awesome cheesecake!
HEAVEN.
love the swirls btw :)
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM,...your chocolate cheesecake brownies look to die for,...
A true winner recipe! Lovely enjoyed with a good cup of coffee!
These brownies look decadent and rich - just the way brownies should! I can't wait for the rendang recipe!
The brownies look amazing. I love making all sorts of different brownies but I have never tried a cheesecake one. I will certainly try this recipe.

@ Cookin' Canuck: Soon... soon!!
@ A Cupcake or two: Thanks!
These were great, and not too rich at all! And the rendang was amazing too. I think the best I've had! :)
Yum! I made cheeseckae brownies too this week, but Dorie's recipe instead of Donna's, and I had to force myself not to eat more than one - they were devine. Yours look fabulous, and I am sure went down a treat.
Oh my, I loved these brownie! They were not too sweet and dangerously easy to go for another one or two!
It was so great meeting you, each dish was incredible!
wow this sure must taste like heaven...:)
Those look like little bites of heaven. I'm always looking for new dessert ideas - so this one will be on my to-do list. Thanks!
These were delicious Ellie and thanks again for inviting me to your party! The food was brilliant! :)
@ Helen: Thanks!! Twirling and dancing >_<
@ Cakelaw: Your cheesecakebrownie looks good too! Donna's version is too difficult to swirl coz the brownie layer is very dense. I may give dorie's version a try.
@ Yas: It's great meeting you too! Your portugues custards are unforgetably delicious.
@ Navita: Yes, it is. Hehe!
@ Krissy: Great! Let me know how it turns out!!
@ Lorraine: You are very welcome! I had a great time too.
Congratulations on your 1 year aniversary! These brownies look amazing, I noted the recipe and I will give them a try. I have a sweet tooth. Actually, all my teeth are sweet :)) I just started a blog too, http://mihaelapd.blogspot.com, but I can't really compare it with yours.
This looks delish! Must try it...will it keep for, say two days? Thinking of making it tomorrow (Thu) for Saturday.
@ YM: You can definitely keep them for 2 days in an air-tight container.
I just made this. OMG. They are beautiful!!! I think I just died and went to heaven. Legend = you
I was apprehensive about the swirling as I was certain I was born with no swirling talent, but I am pleased to report it worked brilliantly! There are delightful dips of cheesecake in sporadic parts of the brownie, and decadent brownie bites in random part of the cheesecake. It's like an edible abstract painting!
