These brownies are delicious. So moist and flavorful. The cheesecake mixture has just the right amount of almond flavoring. I have also made them before using box brownie mix and they turn out amazing that way too. And I swirl the cheesecake mixture into the brownie mix which gives them a very pretty look. -
Buddha made the brownie portion while I (Bird) made the cheesecake portion. The directions are simple to follow and easy to prepare. The brownie flavor of this recipe is excellent (I would add nuts though) as is the cheesecake. We did feel that these would taste better as two seperate recipes though, as they both have excellent flavor but as one dessert together, they lose something. We would also like to note that although there are no almonds in the recipe, the flavor from the extract comes thru quite nicely. -
These were good. I do prefer pure chocolate brownies though. My daughter liked them and said to give them a four-star rating. Thanks for sharing
