This week’s recipe was chosen by Melissa of Life In A Peanut Shell. Unfortunately, I actually didn’t have a very memorable experience with these brownies. It’s too bad, too, because they sounded fantastic. Maybe I did something wrong…who knows. They looked pretty, though! 🙂
These were supposed to be marbled, but my cheesecake batter was so runny, I thought it best to just leave it be. I sort of liked seeing the two distinct layers, though. The sour cream topping was really nice, too- I’ll probably use that for future cheesecake recipes. I think what I didn’t like about these was the dense fudginess of the brownie layer – it was just too fudgy for me, believe it or not. BUT – as always, I’m still really glad I tried these. They were tasty overall….just not something I’d make again, probably. Better luck next time, though! Head on over to Melissa’s blog and check out the recipe – these just might be your cup of tea!
I didn’t get to marble mine either…I tried it but nothing was working, so, I left them layered like yours…..your brownies are just gorgeous!!!!

Even if they didn’t work perfectly, those do sound really yummy! They do sound really rich, though. Maybe good for a party, so there isn’t too much heavy brownie just sitting around your house!

It’s funny because my brownie layer was very cakey, and not fudgey at all! Strange! Your brownies look great, and I agree that the two distinct layers look really nice!!

I WISH my brownie layer was fudgy! It just turned out reeeeally dry. 🙁 Your brownies are beautiful, A – pretty pics!!

I think you got the opposite result of most everyone else that I have seen today- everyone was saying the brownies were dry and cakey- soo interesting.
Yours look beautiful. I love the layers

I love the three very distinct layers — they’re beautiful. I’m sorry that these weren’t a hit for you. I didn’t eat them, but they got rave reviews.

Your layers are perfection!!! I am sorry these didn’t work out – it is funny, most people called them dry, but I also got a very dense, fudgey brownie layer! What did we do??? haha

Your topping looks good enough to eat by itself!

Your topping looks beautiful. I had difficulties to swirl mine.

Wow, your layers are gorgeous!! I can’t figure out why my brownie layer was so much thinner than everyone else’s. I feel like you did about them – pretty good, but not worth a repeat.

I actually made the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Devil’s Food Cake Cheesecake from Sprinkles Bakes this wekneed. It was labour intensive, and took a while to bake (considering it’s essentially three different cakes), but it was sooo worth it! It’s a heavier cake too, but that just means it will last all the longer as you don’t require as big of a slice. A must-try!
