For brownie

For cheesecake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and either line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, or grease it with butter or vegetable oil.

Brownies

• Melt chocolate along with butter in a double boiler and allow it to cool. You can also melt chocolate in a heat proof bowl over a pot of simmering water, but make sure that bottom of bowl does not touch the water.

• Beat eggs and sugar for 2 minutes until pale yellow.

• Slowly mix in the flour.

• Thoroughly blend in the cooled melted chocolate.

• Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan and freeze it for 10 minutes.

Cheesecake

• Process all ingredients for cheesecake in a food processor for 1 minute.

• Gently pour cheesecake mixture over the cool brownie layer. Be careful not to mix these two layers together.

• Bake for about 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.

• Cool completely in baking pan before cutting.

• Refrigerate cheesecake brownies after cutting, but they are delicious either cold or at room temperature.
