H Is For Heavenly

As in a slice of Marbled Ricotta Cheesecake Brownie.
Inspired by Precious Moments' photo of the aforementioned, I just had to make one myself. The ingredients ... ricotta cheese, cream cheese, chocolate, butter, eggs, sugar... it reads like a who's who list of artery clogging but delish foods.
This is a bona fide all round cake. The kind you reach for when you've had a very bad "I-want-to-rip-someone-from-limb-to-limb" sort of day, or when you're feeling brighter than a lit Christmas tree. This is also the kind of cake which will hold its own at elegant dinner parties (with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream) or at intimate tea for twos. Personally, the best way of eating this (not that I have but would like to try) is by sticking all of five fingers into the middle, scooping a bit up and then licking each digit very slowly to savour the sweet sticky mess. You see, at some point, the ricotta and chocolate brownie layer melds together to form a moist, fudgey center. Lekker!
