Matcha Cheesecake Brownies

This is one of the tastiest brownies I've ever made. Fudgy chocolate brownie base top with smooth creamy matcha cheesecake! This combination is really da-bomb! Plus the lovely chocolate swirl over the matcha cheesecake layer makes it a visually tasty dessert too. It can be served warm but I like it chilled. This 8" square matcha cheesecake brownies is polished up by us within 3 days and they are asking for more...hahaha but not any sooner as me wanna try out other baking recipes which I've been pending for very long! ^0^
