Cheesecake Brownies

November 18, 2012 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 13 Comments

I love Sundays spent with my family. After a busy morning in the garden, spreading mulch, the Man of the House and I went to the movies this afternoon. While we were out, Sarah baked up a batch of Cheesecake Brownies for our dessert, while Mr 18 cooked a Lamb Roast.  Life is good.

The Cheesecake Brownies have a rich chocolate brownie base with a baked cheesecake topping – delicious!

Cheesecake Brownie

Ingredients:
185g (6 oz) butter, melted
1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
1 cup caster (superfine) sugar
2 eggs
1 cup plain (all purpose) flour

Cheesecake Topping
250 g (9oz) cream cheese
4 1/2 tablespoons caster sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Preheat oven to 160 degrees C (325 deg F). Place the butter, cocoa, sugar, eggs, and flour in a bowl of an electric mixer, and mix until smooth. Spoon into a rectangular brownie pan (13 x 9 inches) lined with baking paper. Mix cream cheese, sugar, eggs and vanilla in a stand mixer until smooth. Pour over brownie and bake for 45-50 minutes or until set. Cool in tin before slicing. Store in the refrigerator.

    how big is your brownie pan?? Here in the US we use either a 13 x 9 or a 9 x 9…. quite different sizes. I’d like to give your recipe a try!

There’s something so lovely about putting together There’s something so lovely about putting together a bright, happy self‑care gift… especially when it’s handmade.  I stitched a colourful set using Ruby Star Society fabrics - a Relaxation Eye Pillow and a Heavenly Heatpack - and styled them into a complete gift bundle.To make it feel extra special, I lined a small bamboo tray with soft tissue, added the two calming makes, tied them with a pink ribbon, and tucked in a few thoughtful extras: a candle, a box of speciality tea, and a tiny plant. It’s simple, cheerful, and such a beautiful way to show someone you care.Both projects are scrap‑friendly, beginner‑friendly, and quick to sew - perfect for weekend making or last‑minute gifting.If you’d like to sew your own self‑care set, comment SELFCARE and I’ll send you the link to the bundle.

Thank you so much for the wonderful reception to t Thank you so much for the wonderful reception to the Quadra Pouch launch last week — I’m thrilled you’re loving this pattern as much as I do.Today I’m sharing a brand new Tilda version, stitched in the large size and made entirely from blenders. I used four Bellflower prints from the Wallflower range for the exterior, and four Stella prints from the Songbird collection for the lining — eight fabrics in total, making it delightfully scrappy.I love how easily Tilda collections mix and match, and how each corner of the pouch showcases a different print. The clever panel construction gives the pouch a neat flat base without boxed corners, and the result is both practical and beautifully structured.If you’d like to sew your own, the Quadra Pouch pattern is available in both my Pattern Store and Etsy Shop.Comment QUADRA and I’ll send the link straight to you.Pattern Details: Quadra Pouch (3 Sizes) - available in our Pattern Store and Etsy ShopFabric: Bellflower blenders and Stella blenders from Tilda, with thanks to @tilda_australia#tildafabrics #quadrapouch #sewingproject #scrapfriendlysewing #pouchpattern
