How to…..
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit/176 degrees Celsius.
Brownies
In a bowl mix the melted butter and sugar with a handheld electric whisk until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk them just until combined.
Add the melted chocolate and whisk them until smooth. Stir in by hand the flour, cocoa powder and salt until well combined. Add in the walnuts and fold them in.
Put aside 1/4 cup of the batter.
Pour the rest of the batter into the baking pan, and now make the cheesecake.
Cheesecake
Mix with an electric whisk (on low) the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth and well combined. It should thicken. Add the eggs one at a time and continue to mix until smooth and creamy. You can turn the mixer up to medium-high for a few seconds to bring it all together.
Pour the mixture over the brownie and smooth with a spoon or spatula.
Now take the 1/4 cup of brownie batter you left aside. Using a spoon put a few dollops on top of the brownie cheesecake mixture – just scatter the dollops around the top. Using the chop stick, dip it into one of the dollops and swirl around. Move from one dollop to another swirling the chocolate around.
Bake for 30-40 minutes until its firm when you touch it. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then chill overnight in the fridge.
