  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2/3 cup water room temperature
Ube Cheesecake
  • 8 ounce cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup ube halaya
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 9" x 13" metal pan
  • mixing bowls
  • silicone spatula
  • whisk
  • hand mixer or stand mixer
  • parchment paper
  • aluminum foil

Method
 

Ube Cheesecake
  1. Mix egg, cream cheese, ube jam, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl with a mixer. Mix until just combined, do not over mix.
Brownies
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (325 degrees if using a dark or nonstick pan) while you measure out all of your ingredients.
  2. In a large bowl, add eggs, water, and oil. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
  3. Add two pouches of brownie mix and stir gently together until fully combined.
  4. Place parchment paper into 9"x13" pan. Parchment paper should hang over the long sides of pan, this will make it easier to remove brownies once done.
  5. Place brownie mix in pan, spreading it out evenly. Take dollops of ube cheesecake batter and place randomly. Swirl brownie mix and cheesecake batter together gently with a butter knife or chopstick.
  6. Place a large piece of foil over the pan to prevent top from getting too dark. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out slightly moist but not wet. Allow to cool completely and place in the fridge for 1 hour for cheesecake layer to set.
