Brownie Cheesecake
Did someone say brownie and cheesecake? Sophia Handschuh from Thermomix Baking Blogger has outdone herself with this recipe! The addition of the blackberry swirl makes it even better. If you can't source blackberries, you can try using raspberries or strawberries instead. Sure, it's supposed to feed a lot... but (warning!) you might not want to share.
