Cheesecake Fudge Brownie

 Last night I spent time reading cookbooks, (before playing game, haha).

And I just realised that I don't have cheesecake brownie in my blog! How can I forget this rich and delicious recipe. So this morning that first thing that I did was going into the kitchen, and turn on the oven. 
But this recipe is not the old one that I used to make, as I wanted to improve the yummy level of my cheesecake brownie ^^. This time, I combine dense and fudge brownie with load of cheesecake batter. It depend on how you like your brownie to be, for gooey and fudge, bake it for less time, and set it by refrigerating, or you can bake it longer to make it more firm. Changing the chocolate to higher percentage will make the brownie drier, so you may need to adjust the baking time, and like always, my recipe is just a guide, you can omit the chocolate chips and nut or change them into other kind of nut, chocolate or dried fruit (the same weight) so enjoy!
PS. I try to finish writing about my traveling before the end of this month, but I have so many things that I want to do, haha. So, please wait for it a little bit, the last chapter will come next month, I promise.
