Rich Nutella Cheesecake Brownies

Nutella Cheesecake Brownies

These brownies are a Nutella lovers dream. The interior is deliciously rich and fudgy and intensely chocolatey with a thick ribbon of tangy Nutella cheesecake marbled throughout. The crackly top is the perfect contrast to the moist fudgy chocolate and creamy cheesecake. Although these brownies are incredibly decadent, they aren't excessively sweet. Each element of these brownies compliments the others with different textures and flavours. These brownies are perfect for a special dinner, but equally perfect to satisfy an after work craving. This delicious recipe is guaranteed to be a hit whenever you serve it.
