Ingredients

Brownie Base:
177 g unsalted butter, melted – 300 g white sugar – 156 g eggs, at room temperature (approximately 3 eggs) – 7 g vanilla extract – 67 g cocoa powder – 195 g all-purpose flour – 2 g baking powder – 2 g salt – 80 g chocolate chips.

Cheesecake Layer:
703 g cream cheese, softened and at room temperature – 78 g white sugar – 83 g eggs, at room temperature – 7 g vanilla extract.

For Topping:
Homemade caramel (recipe shared in my previous video) – sea salt.

Method

Brownie Base

1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F), using conventional heat (top and bottom, no fan). Grease a 23 × 23 cm (9 × 9-inch) square baking pan and line it with baking paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar together until well combined.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then whisk until combined.
4. Add the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until almost combined, then fold in the chocolate chips until no dry ingredients remain.
5. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.

Cheesecake Layer
6. In a separate bowl, whisk the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. You can use a hand whisk or an electric hand mixer if you find it difficult to mix by hand.
7. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth and creamy.
8. Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the brownie batter.

Baking
9. Bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until the layers are set. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
10. Allow the brownie cheesecake to cool completely to room temperature.

Finishing
11. Spread the homemade caramel evenly over the cooled brownie cheesecake and sprinkle with a little sea salt.
12. Refrigerate for approximately 1-2 hours before slicing and serving. 🤎 taken in Australia by @rayan_chaouk_

Homemade Caramel Sauce 🤎✨

Ingredients:
310 g white sugar / 75 g unsalted butter / 94 g heavy cream / a small pinch of salt

Method:

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, add the sugar and leave it undisturbed until it starts melting around the edges and turns light golden. Gently stir and continue cooking until fully melted and amber in colour.
2. Carefully add the butter, stirring continuously until completely melted and combined. The mixture will bubble vigorously.
3. Gradually add the warm thickened cream, stirring continuously. The mixture may bubble and form lumps, but keep stirring over low heat until smooth and well combined.
4. Remove from the heat, add the salt and stir well.
5. Allow the caramel to cool to room temperature before using it to decorate your favourite desserts. 🤎

Tips for Perfect Caramel ✨

• Don’t stir the sugar until it starts melting around the edges.
• Use medium heat and watch the colour carefully to prevent burning.
• Warm the cream before adding it.
• Add the butter and cream carefully, as the caramel will bubble vigorously.
• If lumps form, stir over low heat until the caramel becomes smooth again.

⚠️ Be careful! Hot caramel is extremely hot and can cause burns. 🤎 taken in Australia by @rayan_chaouk_

Chocolate Mug Cake 🍫☕️كيكة الشوكولاتة بالكوب

Ingredients

60 g full-fat milk
20 g unsalted butter, melted
30 g white sugar
32 g all-purpose flour
12 g cocoa powder
¼ tsp baking powder
A pinch of salt
2 tbsp chocolate chips
I used Belgian 54% cocoa chocolate

Method 🎀

1. In a microwave-safe mug, add the milk, butter and sugar. Stir well until combined.
2. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt over the mixture.
3. Whisk until everything is well combined and the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
4. Add the chocolate chips as the final step and gently stir to distribute them throughout the batter.
5. Clean any batter from the sides of the mug, then place it in the microwave.
6. Microwave for 60–90 seconds, or until the cake has risen, puffed up and the surface looks set. The cooking time will vary depending on the power of your microwave. Mine took 60 seconds.
7. After 60 seconds, test the cake with a toothpick. If it comes out and the cake is cooked through, it’s ready. If it needs more time, microwave for another 10–20 seconds, then test again.

Note: Be careful not to overcook the cake, as it can become dry and firm. taken in Australia by @rayan_chaouk_

Banana & Date Oat Cookies 🍌🌴

Ingredients 📝

125 g unsalted butter, very soft
Zest of ½ a lemon 🍋
200 g brown sugar (you can reduce the amount slightly depending on your preferred sweetness)
1 egg yolk, at room temperature
236 g ripe banana, mashed
225 g all-purpose flour
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
90 g rolled oats
78 g dates, finely chopped
76 g rolled oats, extra, for coating
50 g dates, roughly chopped, for topping.

Method

In a large bowl, add the soft butter, lemon zest, brown sugar and egg yolk. Using a hand whisk or spatula, mix until well combined.

Stir in the mashed banana until evenly incorporated.

Sift the flour and bicarbonate of soda over the mixture. Add the 90 g rolled oats and finely chopped dates, then mix until everything is well combined.

Refrigerate the mixture for approximately 20 minutes.

The dough will still be slightly soft. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out portions of the dough and gently roll each portion between your hands.

Roll each cookie dough ball in the extra 76 g rolled oats, making sure it is well coated.

Place the cookies on a lined baking tray, leaving approximately 5 cm between each cookie. Gently flatten each one, then press some of the roughly chopped dates on top.

Bake in a preheated fan-forced oven at 160–180°C for approximately 20 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden.

Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking tray before serving.

Makes approximately 11 cookies. For smaller cookies, simply use a smaller amount of dough for each cookie. ❤️ taken in Australia by @rayan_chaouk_

Rogan Josh Lamb Curry 🍛🇮🇳

Ingredients:

For the Lamb:
5 kg lamb pieces / Ghee / 3 onions, blended until smooth / 3 tsp ground ginger / 2 tbsp crushed garlic / 4 tbsp tomato paste / 1½ cans chopped tomatoes / 4 cups beef stock / 1½ cups hot water / ½ cup Greek yogurt / 3 bay leaves / Salt

Spices:
2 tsp ground fennel / 1 tsp cardamom / 1 tsp cinnamon / 1 tsp cumin / 2 tsp smoked paprika / 1 tsp turmeric / 1 tsp chilli powder, or to taste / 2 tsp garam masala / 1 tsp ground coriander / ¼ tsp ground cloves.

Method 🍛:

1️⃣ Heat a large wide pot without oil. Add lamb and cook uncovered over high heat, stirring occasionally, until all liquid evaporates (about 40 min). Drain if there is excess liquid.

2️⃣ Add ghee and cook over high heat for 5 min, stirring well, until the lamb is nicely browned.

3️⃣ Add blended onion and cook over high heat for 2 min.

4️⃣ Add garlic and ground ginger; cook over high heat for 5 min, stirring occasionally.

5️⃣ Add all spices and salt; stir over high heat for 30 sec.

6️⃣ Add tomato paste, chopped tomatoes and beef stock; stir well. Add bay leaves . Boil uncovered over high heat for 10 min.

7️⃣ Cover and reduce to low heat. Cook gently. After about 1 hr , or once the sauce starts to reduce, add 1½ cups hot water. Continue cooking for about 50-55 min or until the lamb is very tender and fully cooked.

8️⃣ Once cooked, turn off the heat. Add the yogurt gradually, one spoonful at a time, stirring well after each addition.

⚠️ Important:
👉🏻This step is very important to prevent the yogurt from splitting or curdling. ❤️
The yogurt must be at room temperature. Turn off the heat and let the curry cool slightly; it must not be boiling when adding the yogurt. Add it gradually while stirring to prevent splitting or curdling.

Ready to serve! 🍛❤️ taken in Australia by @rayan_chaouk_
