Brownie Cheesecake For Four
This is my favourite desert. It combinds two of my favourite deserts. With a star dish it makes presentation so easy!
It’s all about that buttery biscuit base!
Not needed but if I can sneak in chocolate in a recipe I will! Also, will seel in the buttery biscuit base so that no cheese cake will seep into the bottom.
It’s all coming together.
More images on the brownies are here.
Letting it rest for the chocolate to set.
It looks amazing espicially if you make it for a dinner party!
