Chocolate Cream Cheese Slice

Ingredients

• Base

  • 1 packet Gregg's Classic Crumble Mix
  • 1/4 cup cocoa
  • 50g butter, melted

• Filling

  • 250g cream cheese, softened
  • 50g butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 tsp Gregg's Ground Cinnamon

• Topping

  • 100g (1/2 cup) dark chocolate chips or cooking chocolate
  • 3 Tbsp cream
  • 1 Tbsp brandy (optional)

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Grease the base and sides of a 22cm springform cake tin.

Combine the Gregg's Classic Crumble Mix and cocoa in a bowl. Add the butter and toss with a fork until well blended. Press the mixture evenly over the base of the tin.
Prepare the filling. Beat the cream cheese and butter together in a bowl until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the remaining filling ingredients and mix well. Pour the mixture over the base. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until the filling is set. Stand the tin on a rack until it is cold.

Prepare the topping. Place the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on Medium for 1 minute, then stir well. If necessary, microwave for a further 10 - 20 seconds or until the chocolate has melted. Alternatively, place the bowl over very hot water until the chocolate melts. Stir occasionally. Stir the cream into the chocolate, then stir in the brandy. Spread the topping over the filling.

Chill until the topping has set, then cut into narrow wedges
