My fiancée found this recipe on google+, he's been pestering me to make it for him for a while. I finally gave in and made it today. The recipe is orginally for cup cakes but I didn't have any cupcake liners, so I made it in a deep tin, came out amazing with the improvisations.

Steps

60 mins

1

Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C
2

Line with greaseproof paper or spray with a non-stick spray a medium round baking tin (For cupcakes: Line one brownie pan/cupcake tin with cupcake liners.)
3

In a small bowl, melt (microwave) butter and chocolate together in 30 second increments. Stir until combined and very smooth.
4

Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
5

In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and red food colouring.
6

Add the chocolate mixture and mix until smooth.
7

Add flour and salt and stir until just combined and no streaks of dry ingredients remain.
8

Pour batter into the prepared tins or lined wells.
9

To prepare the cheesecake mixture, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth.
10

Distribute the cheesecake mixture over batter in pan. Swirl with a knife or spatula.
11

Bake for 35-45 minutes (mine took about 55 minutes because it was on low temperature and it was quite a thick tin I used, 30 minutes on 350°F/180°C and 25 minutes on 425°F/220°C). Muffin sized brownies will take about 20-25 minutes to bake at the same temperature.
12

A knife inserted into the cheesecake mixture should come out clean if its cook through and the edges will be lightly browned. (The one I made came out with a gooey center, tasted really good)
13

Let it cool completely in the pan before removing it. (I was too impatient, wanted to see what it looked like, so I removed it when it was still warm, started cracking)
