Ingredients
For the brownies
- 280 g Love Beets Cooked Beetroot (1 pack)
- 80 g butter
- 200 g dark chocolate, broken
- 130 g caster sugar
- 130 g soft dark brown sugar
- 3 free-range eggs
- 110 g plain flour
- 100 g white chocolate, roughly chopped
For the cheesecake topping
- 80 g white chocolate
- 80 g cream cheese
- 1 small free-range egg
- 50 g sour cream
- 25 kirsch-soaked cherries, drained ((or you can use fresh, pitted cherries))
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas Mark 4. Line a 22cm (8½in) square tin with baking parchment.
2
Put the Love Beets Cooked Beetroot into a high-speed blender and blitz until smooth.
3
Add the butter and dark chocolate to a heatproof bowl and set over a pan of lightly simmering water to melt, stirring occasionally. Set aside once melted.
4
Add the caster sugar, soft dark brown sugar and eggs to a bowl and beat with an electric whisk for 5 minutes, until pale and thick.
5
Using a large metal spoon, carefully fold in the blitzed beetroot purée and melted chocolate. Fold in the flour and white chocolate chunks until just combined, but be careful not to over-mix. Pour into the prepared tin, then set aside while you make the cheesecake mixture.
6
Melt the remaining white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
7
Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then beat in the egg, sour cream and finally the white chocolate, until combined.
8
Spoon over the cheesecake mixture, then swirl through with a skewer to create a marble effect. Scatter over the cherries. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until just set with the slightest wobble in the centre. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
