I have to say this recipe is so easy and fun to make but I’m so disappointed that my red colouring turned out so brown. I used the red gel clue from Wilton. It wasnt as red as I wanted it to be but hope yours will be.
Ingredients
For the Cheesecake
230g cream cheese, room temperature
30g sour cream
60g granulated sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp vanilla essence
For the brownies
100g flour
2 eggs, beaten
115g unsalted butter, melted
25g cocoa powder
250g granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp vinegar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
A generous dose of red colouring
Method
Preheat the oven to 160C and line a baking tin (preferably square) with parchment paper
For the Cheesecake
1. In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream and sugar until they’re well mixed.
2. Add the egg and vanilla and mix thoroughly. Don’t overmix or the Cheesecake will be rubbery.
3. Set aside in a separate bowl.
For the brownies…
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, cocoa, sugar, vanilla and vinegar.
2. Add the eggs and mix well, then add in the colouring.
3. Add the flour to the mixture and combine well. (Tip – sieve the flour before adding to ensure you have no clumps).
4. Pour about 3/4 of the mixture to your prepared baking tray, save a little for later.
5. Pour the cheesecake mixture on top, then pur the remaining brownie mixture on top and swirl around to create a marble effect. Have a little fun with it 🙂
6. Put the brownies in the oven for 40 mins at 160C
7. Once 40 mins are up, take the brownies out and let cool on the counter. Then refrigerate for 1 torturous hour! Its painful but needed
8. Cut with a sharp knife and ENJOY!!!!
