Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownies

Ingredients

Brownie

• 200 g (7 oz) butter
• 200 g (7 oz) quality dark chocolate
• 1 Cup sugar
• 1/2 Cup brown sugar
• 1/2 Cup plain flour
• 3 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 4 eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Cheesecake

• 500 g (18 oz) cream cheese
• 1/3 Cup sugar (caster/superfine would be best)
• 1 Cup smooth peanut butter
• 1 Cup cream, whipped
• Makes 20 pieces

Directions

1. 1. Preheat oven to 180C (350F) and line the base of a slice pan with baking paper. Make sure there is some paper overhanging the sides to make it easy to lift out of the tin at the end.
2. 2. Make the brownie by melting the chocolate together with the butter before whisking in the sugar and eggs. Sift in the flour and cocoa and stir well to combine. Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool (leave it in the pan).
3. 3. Make the cheesecake by beating together the cream cheese, sugar, and peanut butter until light and lump free. Fold in the whipped cream and spread the mixture over the cooled brownie.
4. 4. Cover and refrigerate until set. Once set, lift out of the tin and cut into small squares and enjoy!
