Ingredients

For the pumpkin cheesecake

  • 250 g Full fat cream cheese
  • 85 g Caster sugar
  • 150 g Pumpkin puree
  • 1 Egg large
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp Mixed spice

For the brownies

  • 350 g Dark chocolate
  • 250 g Butter
  • 250 g Light brown sugar
  • 3 Eggs large
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 130 g Plain flour
  • ½ tsp Baking powder

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 160C Fan/180C/325F/Gas Mark 4, grease and line a traybake tin
  • To make the cheesecake batter whisk together the cream cheese, caster sugar, egg, pumpkin puree, cinnamon and mixed spice until smooth with no lumps. Then set it aside
  • To make the brownie batter, in a pan on a low heat melt together the dark chocolate and butter, then take it off the heat and let cool for 10 minutes
  • In a bowl whisk together the eggs and light brown sugar
  • Pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture, whisking as you pour
  • Add the plain flour, baking powder and vanilla extract, and whisk everything together
  • Pour about two thirds of the brownie batter into a lined traybake tine, add the cheesecake in blobs on top, then add the rest of the brownie batter in blobs on top on that
  • Using a knife swirl together the mixture to create a marbled effect
  • Bake it for 30-35 minutes, you want the cheesecake to be set but have a slight wobble to it
  • Leave to cool, then slice into squares and serve
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and eat within 3 days

Notes

If you would like to use a 8" or 9" square tin instead, reduce the recipe by one third. So you will need:
  • 235g Dark chocolate
  • 165g Butter
  • 165g Light brown sugar
  • ¾ tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 Eggs
  • ½ tsp Baking powder
  • 85g Plain flour
Cheesecake:
  • 165g Full fat cream cheese
  • 1 Egg
  • 100g Pumpkin puree
  • 45g Caster sugar
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp Mixed spice
They will also need less time to bake, depending on your oven, I'd suggest 20-25 minutes.
