Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.
- Place the chocolate and the butter in a heatproof bowl and set over a pan of gently simmering water, stirring occasionally, until melted.
- Meanwhile, for the cheesecake mixture, beat together the dark muscovado sugar, vanilla extract, cornflour and 1 egg in a bowl. Gently stir in the soft cheese until fully mixed. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the remaining 3 eggs. Stir in the chocolate mixture with the light muscovado sugar and flour. Spoon half of this into the tin, then drop small spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture.
- Spoon the remaining chocolate mixture over the top and, using a chopstick or skewer, lightly ripple the top, then bake for 15 minutes.
- Scatter over the mini eggs and return to the oven for a further 15–20 minutes until ready.
- Set aside to cool in the tin before cutting into 16 squares to serve.
