- ⅔ cup all purpose flour (80 gr)
- 2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (10 g)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup unsalted butter (150 gr), room temperature
- ½ cup brown sugar (100 gr)
- ½ cup granulated white sugar (100 gr)
- 3 large eggs , room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 9 oz semi-sweet cooking chocolate (250 gr), melted
The cheesecake
- 8 oz full fat cream cheese (225 gr), straight from the fridge
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 gr)
- 1 large egg , room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Other
- ¾ cup dulce de leche (225 gr)
Instructions
The brownie
- In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Give is a quick mix and set aside.
- In a another bowl, add in butter, both brown and white sugar. Mix just until everything is well combined. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Again, mix just until everything is well combined.
- Add in the melted chocolate and immediately mix just to combine. Add in previously sifted flour mixture. Mix just until everything is well combined. Do not overmix to avoid hard brownie.
- Pour batter into a 9 inch (23x23 cm) square pan that has been greased and lined. Spread evenly and set aside.
The cheesecake
- In a bowl, add in cream cheese and whisk until creamy. Add in sugar and mix until everything is well combined. Add in the egg and vanilla extract. Again, just mix until everything is well combined.
Assembling
- Pour the cheesecake mixture on the brownie batter. Spread evenly. Randomly spoon some dulce de leche on top. Make some swirls, just on the cheesecake layer. Try not to mix the brownie batter. Shake the pan a bit so that everything settles.
- Bake at 180ºC (350ºF) preheated oven for 40 minutes or until fully cooked. To check if it's cooked, insert a knife and it should come out crumbly wet (this means we're not over cooking it), not totally wet (means it not cooked) or totally clean (means it's overcooked). Cool completely before removing from pan and slicing. Enjoy!
