These matcha brownies look amazing! Just wondering, will you be sharing the other recipes? The cheesecake swirl ones looks super delicious. Wonderful video as always.

[@ButteredSideUp]

I can definitely share the other recipes, but they haven’t been as rigorously tested!

Here is the cheesecake recipe I used. Again, I would definitely hone the recipe before sharing it as an official Buttered Side Up recipe, so bake at your own risk, but I did still enjoy it as is!
Cheesecake layer:
8 oz cream cheese, soft
1 egg
3 tbsp matcha powder
¼ cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
Pinch salt
.
Brownie layer:
½ cup butter, melted
¾ cup sugar
½ cup cocoa powder
2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
¼ tsp salt
½ cup all purpose flour
.
For the cheesecake layer, beat everything together just until well combined.
For brownie layer, beat everything except the flour together very well. Gently stir in the flour just until combined.
Swirl the two batters together.
Bake at 350 for 20-23 minutes in an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish. Chill before serving.

Thanks for the effort. I followed the recipe and unfortunately it wasn’t the best recipe out there, a bit disappointed because you claimed it was the best
