Ingredients

  • 500g cream cheese

  • 460g castor sugar

  • 215g plain flour, sifted

  • 7 eggs

  • 2 yolks

  • 200g dark chocolate buttons

  • 300g butter

  • 1 tbsp instant coffee, mixed with 1 tsp water to dissolve

  • 200g pecans

  • 1 cup icing sugar, sifted

  • 1/4 cup cocoa

Method

  1. 1. Line a 30 x 25 x 4cm baking tray with baking paper. Preheat oven to 170C.

    2. Blend 400g cream cheese with 60g sugar, 15g flour, 1 egg and the yolks until smooth. Place in a piping bag fitted with a small nozzle and refrigerate.

    3. Whisk remaining eggs and 200g sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually whisk in remaining sugar. Melt chocolate and butter together over a saucepan of simmering water, stir to combine. Add coffee to chocolate. Remove from heat and stir through 1/4 of the egg mixture. Fold chocolate mix through remaining egg mix. Fold through flour and pecans. Pour into tin. Pipe cream cheese mixture into brownie batter evenly, close together at regular intervals.

    4. Bake for 40 minutes or until puffed up in the middle. Allow to cool on a wire rack. Blend remaining cream cheese, icing sugar and cocoa to make icing. Spread over cooled brownies before cutting into squares.
