Steps

1Make the cheesecake filling by beating cream cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in sugar until combined.
2Then beat in the egg and vanilla until combined. Next add in pumpkin and pumpkin spice/cinnamon, mixing until smooth.
3Start making the brownie by melting together butter and dark choc in a heatproof bowl over a pan of boiling water/microwave for 1-2 minutes. Leave to the side to cool
4For the brownies: Using an electric whisk, whisk together eggs and sugar until pale, mousse-like and doubled in size.
5Pour cooled chocolate mixture over eggs and fold through very gently.
6Sift in flour & cocoa powder and fold through gently.
7Add choc chips and pour half into a 9”x9” baking tray, spreading to the corners.
8Spoon over cheesecake and spread into a thin layer.
9Add the remaining brownie batter and smooth the top. Using a toothpick swirl through the mixture. If you like you can add tsp sized dollops of cheesecake on the top to create a two colour swirl above.
10Bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 40 mins/until the middle has a slight wobble and a toothpick has some wet crumbs.
11Cool completely and refrigerate for an hour before slicing.
