Cheesecake brownies with chocolate romany creams
In this recipe; brownie batter, cheesecake and chocolate Romany Cream biscuits all jump into a baking tin together and turn into one of the most delectable desserts I may have ever made. It sounds a little complicated, but really it’s so easy to make. The cheesecake offsets the sweetness providing a lovely contrast to the rich chocolate. Swirled on top of the brownie, these cheesecake brownie Romany Cream bars are my new favourite thing.
In case you are not from South Africa where Bakers Romany Creams have iconic status, they are 2 crunchy chocolate coconut biscuits sandwiched together with a layer of chocolate. I was thrilled to be asked by the brand to come up with a few recipes for their range of biscuits that will be printed on their packaging.
It will take some time for all the new recipes I created and shot to roll out, but in the meantime here is the first one I made and its also my favourite.
