    I have just made them!

    Verdict: They were easy to make once I'd converted to UK measures etc. I had most of the ingredients in my house anyway. They are DELICIOUS!!!! Absolutely delicious. I cut mine into 20 pieces instead of 24 as my tin is square and they would've ended up teeny. Mine now work out at 95 cals each. Good news is that they are are so fudgy and dense you don't want too many!! I am definitely going to make these again. Thank you lovely person who posted. Sorry I can't work out how to upload a pic to show you. Any advice?

    Can you share what you used for a UK measure please, I've seen another couple of people ask for measurements in grams. Can you also share what you used for egg substitute and applesauce. Thanks :-)

    bump!!!!!!!!! can't go wrong with chocolate. i wonder if they would freeze well? Then when you need a "chocolate fix" take them out.

    Made them last night. Not bad, I think I needed to cook them longer. The edges were delicious, but the boyfriend said that the middle could have set up a little harder. It was a thick brownie. Had just one piece!

    Looks lovely!

    bump for recipe
  • Hiya

    I used:

    75g wholemeal flour
    60g cocoa
    1/4 tsp salt
    1 egg (couldn't find a substitute and it didn't affect cals much at all)
    2 large egg whites
    225g soft brown sugar
    4 tbsp of apple sauce - just used the one we have with Sunday lunch - worked fine.
    2 fl oz coffee
    2 tsp vanilla

    100g Philadelphia light (1/2 a tub)
    2 oz sugar
    1 egg
    1 tbsp plain white flour
    1 tbsp low fat natural yogurt
    1 tsp vanilla

    pre-heat oven to 180' and bake for 20 minutes. Leave til cold on a rack still in the tin. Then slice into pieces. Don't be impatient like me and slice them when still slightly warm - some stuck to the knife.

    Also, I have frozen half the batch and will see how well that goes. Can I also suggest that you add 3/4 not 1/2 the brownie mixture to the tin before you add the cheesecake mix otherwise you won't get much of a swirl. My other half is currently troughing them all x

    thanks - that helps a lot for me I was thinking about what to do with the eggsubstitute as I don't think they have those things here in germany where I live lol
  • i made them this weekend. i may try again without the coffee. i like coffee, but i thought the taste of the coffee overpowered the chocolate flavor in these. also-- not sure what i did, but my cheesecake layer sunk! i didn't have swirls on top, i ended up with a cheesecake layer in the middle though. the cheesecake part was my favorite part of them too.

    I have whole wheat flour, but not whole wheat pastry flour. Do you think it would make a difference?
