Espresso Cheesecake Brownies

This Tuesdays with Dorie recipe was chosen by Melissa of Life in a Peanut Shell, and you can find the recipe here or in Dorie Greenspan's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.

I don't know who sits around and makes up these shamefully decadent desserts, but whoever you are, I thank you from the bottom of my heart! Who would think that a creamy coffee-flavored cheesecake would want to partner with a brownie- or a topping for that matter? It seemed delicious enough on its own, not that I sampled the batter containing raw eggs. No, not me...

What was already delicious became epic once the cheesecake nestled into a fudge brownie and received a crown of cream and sugar.

I love the way you express your thoughts. Really, you should be a professional writer! Have you ever read the madcap adventures of a delightful southern lady http://www.missjulia.com/
Your posts remind me of this lady, sweet and just hilarious.

Oh! And the dessert looks mighty fine!

My husband professes to not like coffee or cheesecake but I know if I made these he would devour them!
