Brownie Bottom Cheesecake

*****(1) Rate this recipe, your opinion counts Print this recipe

I doubled this recipe and made it into more of a brownie-style recipe than a cheesecake, and it got rave reviews! I make a traditional fudge sauce to go over it (composed of marshmellows, evaporated milk, sugar, and milk chocolate chips). It's a rather plan looking dessert, so you may want to add some type of garnish, but the taste is so rich and luxurious that you don't want to pass this one up!

Forfar Bridies (Irish)

A decent effort, but marred by a couple of important errors: 1st, The recipe originates from the old county of Angus in North-East Scotland, not in Ireland. (Lookup Forfar) 2nd, One of the main ingredients of Forfar Bridies is missing: Beef Suet: maybe not to everyones taste , but essential for the original & wonderful Forfar Bridie!
