These brownies are fabulous and I don't really have anything else to say about them. They are simply just moist chocolatey deliciousness in brownie form.

Adapted from My Little Afternoon Tea Book

Makes: about 20 pieces

Time: 45 minutes prep, 50 minutes cooking

Ingredients:

• 250 grams of chocolate for melting
• 200 grams of butter
• 1 cup of brown sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 a cup of self raising flour
• 1/4 cup of cocoa powder
• 250 grams of softened cream cheese
• 1/4 cup of caster sugar
• 130 grams of frozen strawberries
• 50 grams of white chocolate chips (optional)

Method:

Step 1. Start out by melting the chocolate and then leaving to cool slightly.

Step 2. Beat the butter and brown sugar until creamy.

Step 3. Add three of the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.

Step 4. Fold in the cocoa and flour. Then fold in the melted chocolate.

Step 5. In a separate bowl beat the cream cheese and caster sugar together.

Step 6. Add the final egg to the cream cheese mixture and beat it.

Step 7. Fold the strawberries and chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture.

Step 8. Layer the two mixtures in a baking tin. To create a marble effect swirl a skewer through the tin once all mixture has been added.

Step 9. Bake for around 50 minutes at 170 degrees celsius.

These brownies taste best warm out of the oven, but will keep well for about 5 days. I hope you enjoy them, let me know what you think!
