What you will need
- 300g of soft cream cheese at room temperature
- 300g of caster sugar
- Two eggs, beaten plus 3 extra
- 150g unsalted butter, softened
- 200g dark chocolate
- 75g of plain flour, sifted
- 200g fresh cherries , stoned and halved , plus extra for some garnish if you would like
Preheat the oven to 180, Grease and line a 25cm square baking tin and line with baking paper.
Beat the soft cheese with 75g of the caster sugar until just combined, then beat in the two eggs, allow to chill for 10 minutes just to stiffen up slightly.
Meanwhile melt the butter and the chocolate in a heatproof mixing bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, but do not allow the water to touch the bowl, stirring continuously until smooth and glossy looking, set aside and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Stir the remaining caster sugar into the chocolate mixture , gradually beat in 3 extra eggs, one by one , then mix in the flour and fold in until a smooth batter forms.
Pour a thin layer of chocolate mixture into the prepared tin to coat the entire base , dollop spoonful's of the cheese mixture , the pour on the remaining chocolate mixture and top with dollops of the cheese mixture, using the handle of a wooden spoon swirl the spoon around to create a marbled effect.
Scatter over the cherries and bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until you put the knife into the centre and it comes out clean.
It should have a slight wobble.
Place on a wire rack tray and leave to cool, should take about 20 minutes, Hard Yes!
Cut into even squares, I get roughly about 20 small squares, Serve with some chopped fresh cherries and some vanilla ice cream .
