Marbled Cheesecake Brownie

Soft fudgey brownies topped with a thick layer of chocolate marbled cheesecake.

Marbled Cheesecake Brownie

Don’t you just love it when you can combine two of your favourite desserts and make it one. A thick layer of soft fudgey brownies topped with a chocolate swirled rich creamy cheesecake.  I mean what’s not to love.  This marbled cheesecake brownie is easy to put together. And it can be made up to a week ahead and stored covered up in the fridge until you are ready to serve.

First off is a from scratch brownie layer. It is a one bowl mix or should I saw one pot mix recipe.  My brownie recipe has in it  good quality semi- sweet or dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa solids, unsalted butter, caster sugar, eggs, cocoa powder, flour and a salt.   Melt the chocolate with butter and leave to cool for ten minutes. Then into that add sugar and then whisk in eggs. Followed by  folding in cocoa powder and flour. Pour into a square baking tin lined with foil and set aside whilst you prepare the cheesecake layer.

The cheesecake layer is pretty simple to put together. It is a combination of cream cheese, sugar, an egg and yogurt. Spread the cheesecake batter over the brownie batter using an offset spatula.

Creating the marbled part of the cheesecake was the most fun part of putting together this dessert. To finish off melt some chocolate in a microwave in 30 second bursts until melted. Pour into a squeezy bottle or a piping bag then pipe parallel lines of melted chocolate across the cream cheese layer.  Take a tooth pick and drag through the melted chocolate for that pretty marbled effect.

Yield: 9 slices

Marbled Cheesecake Brownie

Ingredients

    Brownie Layer
  • 120 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
  • 185 g (6.6 ounces ) semi sweet chocolate
  • 200 g (1 cup) sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 80 g (2/3 cup) plain flour
  • 50 g (1/2 cup) cocoa powder
  • Cheesecake Layer
  • 250 g (8 oz) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 50 g (1/4 cup) sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 50 ml (1/4 cup) greek yogurt
  • 50 g semi sweet chocolate, melted

Instructions

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and chocolate. Remove from heat and leave to cool for about 10 minutes.

Brownie Layer

Pre-heat oven to 170 degrees celcius. Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking tin with aluminium foil, leaving an overhang on the sides.

Stir sugar into chocolate mixture. Whisk in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla extract and fold in flour and cocoa powder. Once combined gently fold in cocoa powder and flour.

Pour the brownie batter into the baking tin, spreading evenly to the edges.

Cheesecake Layer

In bowl of mixer (or using hand mixer) beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, slowly beat in sugar. Add salt. Scrape the sides of bowl as needed.

Beat in egg. Add the vanilla extract and greek yogurt and beat until well incorporated.

Pour cheesecake batter over brownie layer and use an off set spatula to spread.

Pour melted chocolate into a squeezy bottle or a piping bag (snip off end), then pipe parallel lines of melted chocolate across the cream cheese layer. Take a tooth pick and drag through the melted chocolate.

Bake for roughly 35 -40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the brownies comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in pan. Then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Once chilled lift the foil out of the cake tin using the overhang on the sides and cut into squares. I use a sharp knife warmed up in hot water and wiped before slicing.

    Two desserts in one is always better in my book! Love this marbled variation, extra chocolate is also always good 🙂
