Ingredients
Brownie batter:
- 225g butter
- 4 large eggs
- 180g sugar
- 120g flour
- 60g cocoa powder, unsweetened
- a pinch of salt
Cheesecake filling:
- 225g cream cheese, room temp.
- 50g sugar
- 1 large egg, room temp.
- 20g flour
- 1tsp vanilla extract
- 100g blackberries
Method
- Preheat the oven to 175C. Line 20-22cm square tin with parchment and set aside.
- Melt butter and let it cool a bit.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl beat the eggs with sugar until light and fluffy. Add melted butter. Then add flour mixture and mix until combined.
- For the cheesecake, beat cream cheese with egg, sugar, and vanilla extract. Add flour and mix until smooth.
- Pour 2/3 of the brownie batter into the tin and spread evenly. Spoon cheesecake filling on top. Then cover it with the remaining brownie batter. Slightly swirl it with a knife. Place berries on top and push them lightly into the batter.
- Bake for about 45 minutes until the wooden pick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let the brownie cool, then remove it from the pan and cut into squares.
I love brownies and I love cheesecakes. And a combination of both makes one delicious dessert. Tanginess of a cheesecake balances out the richness and intensity of a chocolate taste of a brownie.

This recipe is from Russian Foodie Chocolate 2015 magazine. The original recipe called for raspberries, which is also super delicious, but I also tried them with sour cherries, blueberries, and, well, blackberries. Next time I’ll use all of them at the same time 😀
