Brownie based baked cheese cake.

Here is a recipe for those of you who love Cheese cake and brownies as this to me is heaven on a plate.

The cheese that I used was philly.

Now when it comes to mixing the cheese, use a whisk I had to use my spoon for the first part as I was waiting for my washer upper to clean it for me. 

what you need:

Brownie

4 oz butter

4 oz plain chocolate

7 oz Golden caster sugar

2 eggs beaten

50ml of milk

4 oz plain flour

Cheese cake

500g soft cheese

4 1/2 oz Golden caster sugar

3 eggs beaten

2 tsp vanilla extract

4 oz natural yogurt

What you do:

Preheat your oven to 180 o'C and grease and lightly flour your tin. I used my deep 8 inch round tin for this.

Put the chocolate and butter in a bowl and place over a pan of simmering water.

 heat until melted mix occasionally to combine. 

Beat in the sugar.

Beat in the eggs and the milk

Whisk in the flour until just blended.

Pour the mixture into your tin making sure it is evenly spread and place in the oven on the middle shelf for 25 to 30 minutes. 

Remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 160 o'C

In a large bowl whisk cheese and sugar together. 

Whisk in the eggs and extract making sure that it is well blended.

Whisk in the yogurt.

Pour this over the brownie, making sure that it is evenly spread. 

Put this on the second from bottom shelf and bake for 50 minutes. Or until the centre is just set.

Remove from the oven and very carefully use a sharp knife and run it around the edge of the cake. This will stop the cheese cake from sticking while cooling. 

Leave to cool completely in the tin. Once cooled carefully remove from the tin. 

Store in an airtight container in the fridge. 

Happy baking
