Chocolate Cheesecake Brownie

My first post for 2012! To be honest, there's nothing to be excited about. I'm the kind of person who don't believe in celebrating new years. Every year when people were excited to come up with their new year resolution I never bother because 1) I probably won't give extra effort to make it work, and 2) if I want to change, I can change anytime I want.

Enough of the rambling. Moving on......

This 'monster' was born as I was leafing through my recipe book. The recipe was among the oldest that I've copied when I first started baking. I had no courtesy of jotting down the link from where I got it from. So yea, I can call this my recipe but the truth is it's not. I'm honest like that.

It did not dissapoint me at all! I actually had to read the recipe twice to make sure I copied it correctly. The recipe calls for 6 ingredients. The great part was it uses melted butter! I love baking with oils and melted butter. Saves up some of my time and energy.

This brownie is altogether an easy task. Preparing was easy, making was easy, and the most important part.....EATING was easy. You can taste the chocolate and the cheesecake in one bite. Heaven!
