As usual some sewing, plenty of chatter and a delicious supper thanks to Emma and Jennifer.
This is Emma's recipe from the July evening which I missed, but I heard they are scrummy!
Marble Choc cheesecake Brownies
175g unsalted butter
3 tblsp cocoa
200g golden caster sugar (I used regular caster)
2 eggs, beaten
125g plain flour
250g ricotta cheese
40g golden caster sugar (regular)
1 egg beaten
Preheat oven to 180C. Grease 11" x 7" rectangular baking tin.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan, remove from the heat and stir in the
cocoa and sugar. Beat in the eggs, then add the flour and stir to mix
evenly. Pour into the prepared tin.
For the cheesecake mix, beat together the ricotta, sugar and egg, then drop
teaspoonfuls of the mixture over the chocolate mixture. Use a palette knife
to swirl the two mixtures together lightly (bugger lightly, you really need
to kind of dig the chocolate up from the bottom a bit).
Bake in the oven for 40-45 mins (mine was a little overdone but would
definitely say it needed 45 mins), until just firm to the touch. Cool in
the tin, then cut into bars or squares.
And now for the pictorial record. Remember you can click on the pictures to enlarge them.

And here we all are, Carole, Emma, Jennifer, Shelly, Esther and Barbara and my empty chair behind Carole. The gluten free orange chocolate muffins are very good.
A block from Emma's chocolate and raspberry "Matilda's Waltz", the story of a girl's search for love and home. Emma has personalised it e.g. the cricket bat and Twofold Bay sign.
Jennifer's "Oriental One". I look forward to seeing the next in the series.

Bubbly goes well with Cheesels and what's more driving home afterwards is no problem!
