This recipe makes about 16 when I do it :D 

1) pre heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius or has mark 4 and lightly grease a shallow cake pan.

2) beat together the cheese, vanilla and 5 tea spoons of caster sugar then set aside. 

3) beat the eggs and remaining caster sugar together until light and fluffy. Place the butter and the cocoa powder into a small pan and heat gently, stirring until the mixture combines. Then stir in the eggs mixture and fold in the flour and nuts! 

4) pour half the cake batter into the prepared tin and then carefully spread the cheese mixture over the top. Cover it with the. Remaining cake batter and bake for 40-45 minutes. Leave to cool in the pan. 

5) to make the icing, melt the butter in with the milk and stir in the icing sugar and cocoa powder. Spread the icing over the brownies and leave it to set. You can then cut out the brownies :) 

Enjoy guys!!
