Method
- Heat the oven to 160C/Gas 3. For the malt cheesecake swirl, whisk together the cream cheese and malt extract, and set aside. For the brownies, melt the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Once fully melted, take off the heat to cool slightly.
- Whisk the eggs and sugar together until light, fluffy, and doubled in volume. Fold this into the chocolate mix and then sift over the flour, folding gently.
- Pour the brownie mix into the prepared tin. Add dollops of the malted cream cheese on top and swirl through the batter with a skewer or knife. Bake in the oven for 35-40 mins. Remove from the oven and cool for 2-3 hrs before cutting into squares. Top with Maltesers.
Top tips for making Maltesers brownies:
To really make sure you've got enough Malteser in every bite, put some of the chocolate balls into a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin. Add these into the mixture before laying it out in the pan and topping with the whole pieces of Malteser.
