Bamber Brothers Gluten Free Marble Brownie The following recipe is for a 9” , serving 12-16 people.

Ingredients

For the brownie base 1 Cup of 2 eggs ½ Cup of plain (we use a gluten free blend!) ½ Cup of cocoa powder ½ Cup of melted

For the cheesecake 3 eggs (separated) 500g of cream cheese 100g of plain flour (gluten free again) 300ml of double cream (whipped) 100g of (melted) 100g of (melted) 1 Cup of sugar

Directions  Preheat the oven to 170C  Butter the hell out of your 9” springform tin – especially the sides!  Cut a 10.5” diameter circle of greaseproof paper and affix it to the base of your tin so it rides up the sides of the tin evenly – bung it in the fridge so the butter hardens.

For the base  Using a hand whisk, mix the eggs and sugar till light and foamy  Add the flour, cocoa, and butter and mix until smooth  Spread evenly in the grease proofed tin and put in the oven for around 20 mins – until it’s just about firm on top – you don't want to bake it fully, after all, it’s going to be baked for an hour more later!  Take it out and put it back in the fridge, reduce the oven to 140C

For the cheesecake  You're going to want to half the first 4 ingredients (not the egg whites) and follow the next few steps twice – with a separate bowl for each – once for dark chocolate, once for the white chocolate (to achieve the marbled effect)  Beat the egg yolks (for a good minute), beat in the cheese until it's all smooth with no lumps (wipe down the sides with a spatula and scrape it off on the whisk as needed)  Add the flour (we Bamber Brothers like a more 'cakey' cheesecake as opposed to the cheesy mush you otherwise find – the flour helps to achieve this) and whipped cream and mix again until smooth, with no lumps of flour!  Add the melted dark chocolate to one bowl and the white chocolate to the other – whisk quickly because you don't want the chocolate to cool before it's mixed properly!  Make with the 3 egg whites, adding the sugar (gradually) after you've whisked it a bit first.  Fold half the meringue (vigorously!) into each of the cheese mixtures.  Take the tin out of the fridge, butter the sides again just to make sure!  Scoop portions of the mixtures alternately, 1 dark, 1 white, 1 dark etc onto the brownie evenly and smooth the top flat – give it a one short swirl in a figure-of-eight to mix the dark and white just a little bit and bake in the oven for about an hour until the cheesecake is baked throughout – you can check it by seeing if a skewer comes out dry when placed in the centre of the cake. Turn off the oven and leave it to cool with the door open for a good hour, then take it out the oven and put it in the fridge overnight. Don't take out of the tin until the next day!
