  • In a separate bowl lightly beat the eggs and the egg yolk. Transfer the batter to the bowl of the stand mixer. Add the eggs to the batter and mix with a rubber spatula. Beat with the paddle attachment for only 15 seconds. DO NOT OVERMIX.
    2 Eggs, 1 Yolk
  • Mix the reserved brownie mixture with a couple of hot milk to thin it out.
    1-2 tablespoon Hot milk
  • Pour the cheesecake batter over the brownie mixture in the pan. smooth out the surface.
  • Using a tablespoon spread dollops of the reserved brownie mixture on top of the cheesecake batter and with the tip of a paring knife or skewer drag the brown batter into the cheesecake batter, and create the marble effect.
  • Bake for 45 minutes. Until the sides are set, and the center of the cheesecake is still jiggly.
  • Turn the oven off, and leave the oven door cracked open for a half-hour. Then transfer the pan to the fridge and let the cheesecake set and firm up.
