This brownie cheesecake layers a rich, fudgy chocolate base with a smooth, tangy cream cheese swirl — two favourite desserts in every bite. It bakes into a beautifully marbled cake that is indulgent without being heavy. Serve it slightly warm with berries, or chilled straight from the fridge. If you enjoy baked cheesecakes, our Simple Baked Cheesecake is well worth trying too.
Ingredients
- 120 g dark chocolate
- 120 g butter
- 2 eggs
- 100 g sugar
- 60 g flour
- For the cheesecake swirl:
- 1 egg
- 30 g sugar
- 300 g cream cheese
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate with the butter and stir until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar, add the chocolate-butter mixture, then sift in the flour and mix the batter.
- For the filling: whisk the egg with the sugar, add the cream cheese, and mix until smooth.
- In a parchment-lined pan, spread 2/3 of the chocolate batter, then the cheesecake filling, then the remaining chocolate batter. Level the top.
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 40-50 minutes. Test with a skewer — moist crumbs should cling to it.
Tips
- Use good-quality dark chocolate — it makes all the difference to the brownie layer.
- Do not overbake: the centre should still wobble slightly and the skewer should come out with moist crumbs. For more chocolate baking ideas, Allrecipes has a wide collection of brownie recipes.
- Chill the cake before slicing for clean, neat squares. For another creamy dessert, try our No-Bake Cherry Almond Cheesecake.
