Forest Fruits Cheesecake Brownies

This is an extraordinary brownie recipe. The brownie layer is topped with a gorgeous layer of cream cheese and then your favourite berries. Fresh or frozen berries are equally delicious. If you don't like macadamia nuts, walnuts are a nice substitution.

Best brownies recipe I've used though I think you forgot to add the other half of the sugar to the soft cheese mix in the recipe. I also had too much of the mix even when I used 200g of cheese rather than 250g. - 17 May 2012
