Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies

Finally, it happened!!!I successfully baked a brownie without any fuss...*phew*...After two major failures (a hardened brownie and a charred brownie), I never had the courage to bake a brownie. But then, I badly wanted to bake one!! I found this brownie recipe in one of my baking bookings and set out to bake it with my fingers crossed.....And the finished product is what you see in the below pictures....*smiles*



Ingredients:
Recipe Source: Chocolate by Parragon Books

Brownie Mix
Unsalted butter - 3/4 cup (plus extra for greasing)
Unsweetened cocoa - 3 tbsps
Superfine sugar - 1 cup
Eggs, beaten - 2
All-purpose flour - 1 cup

Cheesecake Mix
Ricotta cheese - 1 cup*
Superfine sugar - 3 tbsps
Egg, beaten - 1

Method:
  • Preheat oven to 180 C/350 F. Grease a cake pan and line with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter and stir in the unsweetened cocoa and the sugar.
  • Beat in the eggs, then add the flour, and stir to mix evenly. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • For the cheesecake mix, beat together the cheese, sugar and the egg. Pour this mixture over the chocolate mixture.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, until just firm to touch. {In a MWO, bake at 600W for 10mins}
  • Cool in the pan and then cut into bars or squares.
* I used Britannia's cream cheese instead of ricotta cheese.

Pansache Dhonas/ Jackfruit Cake

It's the season of jackfruit and you get to see lots of them in Kerala now. Last week, when I went home for a day, I brought back some jackfruits as my son loves them...... After everybody had their share, I had little left in the fridge and so decided to bake this Goan cake - Pansache Dhonas, which I had penned down from Raksha's Kitchen some months back. I would say this cake is definitely a healthy one as it uses no maida, sugar or butter.... The cake tasted quite different from the normal ones and it was indeed yummy! Ingredients: Recipe Source: Raksha's Kitchen Jackfruit pulp - 2 cups Grated coconut - 1 cup Salt - 1/2 tsp Rava - 1 cup Jaggery - 1 cup Cardamom powder - 2 tsps Cashewnuts, chopped - 10 Almonds, chopped - 5-10 Raisins - 10 Method: Roast rava till it is light brown or till the aroma wafts into the air. Keep aside. Let it cool for at least 20 mins. Remove the jackfruit seeds and put them into a mixer ...
