Baked Brownie Cheesecake
I don't have to say again that I love cheesecake, right? And what's better than a cheesecake? A brownie cheesecake. Brownie is one of America's favourite baked treats and has its origin in the USA in the eraly 20-th century. One legend about the creation of brownies is that of Bertha Palmer, a prominent Chicago socialite whose husband owned the Palmer House Hotel. In 1893, Palmer asked a pastry chef for a dessert suitable for ladies attending the Chicago World's Columbian Exposition. She requested a cake-like confection smaller than a piece of cake that could be included in boxed lunches. The result was the Palmer House Brownie with walnuts and an apricot glaze. The modern Palmer House Hotel serves a dessert to patrons made from the same recipe. The name was given to the dessert sometime after 1893, but was not used by cook books or journals at the time. Today, brownies can be found with a number of flavor variations and add-ons, such as peanut butter, mint, coffee, raspberry, white chocolate, almonds, raisins, candies, or caramel. Even brownie cheesecake is a variation of brownie, this dessert combines two of the most delicious and beloved desserts. This recipe is a must try, is so delicious and it has an amazing taste. The recipe is simple, yoi just have to wait a little bit more until the cheesecake is completely cooled but trust me, all the patience is worth it, this dessert is way to good.Also, I used my new latte cup from Zaliano to add the ganache over the cheesecake. I was suprised to see that the cup is so easy to clean and more, it looks so beautiful.
