This dish is not about ingredients, as much as it is about presentation.

So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How to Make Tremendous Cheesecake Brownies

Step-by-Step

1PREP/PREPARE
2THE CHEESECAKE
3Gather your ingredients.
4Place all of the ingredients for the cheesecake into a bowl.
5Use a whisk or blender stick to thoroughly mix all the ingredients, and reserve.
6THE BROWNIE
7Add some water to a double boiler, and place over medium heat.
8Add the butter, and both types of chocolate.
9Stir the mixture until blended.
10Remove from the heat, and then add the sugar, and eggs.
11Stir until fully incorporated.
12Add the flour, baking powder and salt to a large bowl, and whisk to combine.
13Add the melted chocolate, and stir until fully incorporated.
14THE ASSEMBLY
15Chef’s Note: I’m using a mini cheesecake pan to bake these; however, you could put them into simple paper baking cups.
16Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 320 (160c).
17Add 1 tablespoon of the brownie mix to the bottom of the paper baking cup, or pan.
18Add 1 tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture to the top of the brownie mix.
19Complete by adding 1 tablespoon of brownie mix to the top.
20Chef’s Note: Repeat for the remaining brownie/cheesecakes.
21Place into the preheated oven until fully baked, about 20 to 25 minutes.
22Chef's Note: Allow to fully cool before serving.
23PLATE/PRESENT
24Place one on a serving dish, and garnish with a bit of whipped cream, and maybe a lemon twist. Enjoy.
25Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
