# Steps to Make It:
01 -
Cover the cheesecake mixture and pop it in the fridge until you need it. It should be thick like yogurt, not runny. Only stir the rest of the cheesecake ingredients in until just combined after you whip the cream cheese with a whisk.
02 -
Put parchment paper in your brownie pan, about 20 by 20 centimeters.
03 -
Pop the chocolate and butter into a bowl that works in the microwave. Heat it at medium in 20-second bursts, stirring every time, till smooth. Let it cool a bit.
04 -
Whip eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla together with an electric mixer for three minutes till it's creamy.
05 -
Scrape the melted chocolate-butter mixture gently into the egg mix using a spatula.
06 -
With the first half of flour, cocoa, and salt, sift them onto the wet stuff and gently fold in. Do it again with the rest. Stop once you don’t see dry streaks.
07 -
Spread just under half the brownie batter in the lined tin. Plop the cheesecake mix on with big spoonfuls, leaving gaps for the pistachio spread. Drop spoonfuls of pistachio spread in the empty spots.
08 -
Carefully cover everything with the rest of the brownie mix, smoothing the top. Scatter chopped chocolate all over.
09 -
Put it in a hot oven at 170°C fan for 27 minutes if you want fudgy centers. For more set bars, leave in for 30 to 35 minutes.
# Extra Information:
01 -
Don’t try cutting until brownies are totally cool, or they’ll fall apart.
