Description
A stunning dessert that combines rich chocolatey brownies with creamy cheesecake and topped with a delicious blueberry sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g dark chocolate (at least 60% cacao solids)
- 200 g butter, softened
- 200 g granulated sugar (or brown sugar)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp instant espresso powder
- 1 tbsp hot water
- 110 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 600 g cream cheese, softened
- 150 g sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 400 g fresh blueberries
- Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 1 tbsp)
- 1 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (325°F). Grease a 9-inch (24 cm) springform pan with butter and line the base with parchment paper.
- For the brownie base, melt the dark chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Dissolve the instant espresso powder in hot water and add to the butter mixture. Add the eggs one at a time. Stir in the melted chocolate then gently fold in the flour and salt until combined. Pour into the prepared pan.
- For the cheesecake layer, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Pour over brownie layer.
- Bake for 1 to 2 hours. The edges should be browned and puffed while the center remains slightly wobbly. If it browns too quickly, cover it with foil. Let cool in the oven for 1 hour with the door ajar. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- For the blueberry topping, combine blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and let thicken. Cool completely.
- Assemble by spooning the cooled topping over the cheesecake. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter. Ensure the brownie base cools before adding the cheesecake layer to prevent mixing.
