This Easy Cheesecake Brownies recipe is just totally COCHON as we say in French. Imagine, a cheesecake AND a brownie at the same time? Really? It’s a dream come true! Just when you thought that brownies couldn’t get any better!
A Classic Brownies recipe serves as base for this cake and is completely delicious on its own, so if you were looking for the PERFECT CHOCOLATE BROWNIES recipe, this is it! Adding that cheesecake swirl is just brilliant! Come on, admit it, how many times have you been to a restaurant and couldn’t decide for dessert between the cheesecake or the chocolate cake? Well, no more!
I use a quality dark chocolate 70% cacao for extra rich flavour. And you’ll see, the swirling part is a lot of fun! Don’t be afraid, you don’t need to make it pretty, it is very forgiving, and it will be beautiful no matter what!
