Instructions
- Preheat oven to 370℉/180℃. Line a 8″ square baking tin with greaseproof paper.
- Melt the dark/semi-sweet chocolate by breaking up into small pieces in a bowl and heating for 30 second intervals in a microwave, stirring in between. Set aside to cool whilst making the brownies.Alternatively, set up a double boiler. Do this by placing a heatproof bowl over a small pot of simmering water. Add the chocolate to the heatproof bowl and stir until melted.
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer combine the melted butter, and both the brown and granulated sugars on a medium speed until fully combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix again. Add the melted chocolate.
- Add in the flour, cocoa powder and fold together. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
For the Pecan Pie Layer
- In a saucepan, melt the butter. Then add the cream and brown sugar - stirring to combine. Turn off the heat and add the chopped pecans. Set aside while making the cheesecake layer.
For the Cheesecake Layer
- Make the cheesecake layer by combining the cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla. Pour this over the brownie batter.
- Now that the pecan layer has cooled a little, pour this over the cheesecake layer.
- Bake for 33-36 minutes. The cheesecake may look a little wobbly in the center but that is fine - if the whole thing is still wobbly, let it bake a few more minutes. Let cool before slicing and serving.
