Cooking steps
Preparing the Brownies

- Stir in the vanilla extract and eggs, then gently fold in the flour.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is just set, but still shiny. Then remove from the oven.
Preparing the Cheesecake
- While baking the brownies, prepare the cheesecake layer by beating together the Kiri cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until soft.
- Mix in the sour cream, vanilla & cornstarch.
- With the mixer on low speed, carefully beat in the eggs until just combined.
- Spoon the batter over the top of the baked brownie layer, and spread evenly.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is just set and has a slight wobble in the middle of the pan.
- Turn off the oven, open the door and cool in the oven for 30 minutes.
- Take the cheesecake out of the oven and cool until it reaches room temperature.
- Wrap the pan with cling film and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Cut into slices and top with cherry pie filling before serving.
