It's like autumn in your mouth in the spring.

It was my friend's birthday on Mother's Day, but since we all have mothers he decided to celebrate a week later with a lovely barbecue. Since I am the baker of us all and that I wouldn't be eating the meat that would be provided, I decided to bring a dessert. I had some leftover pumpkin puree from making cinnamon buns and my friend loves pumpkin pie, but I knew he had pie the previous week . I also know my friends love cheesecake as they bought me one for my birthday even though I don't eat sweet stuff just so they could eat it.

I decided upon pumpkin cheesecake swirl brownies, the recipe for which I found on Perry's Plate. It worked out fairly well although the brownie batter was a bit thick, so swirling wasn't so swirly, but the brownies were soo good. The whole plate was devoured rather quickly. They're even better on the second or third day as the pumpkin cheesecake makes the lower brownie turn almost fudgy.

There's another close-up photo of these things on my flickr account which also shows the colour and interior a bit better (minus the blurry bits because apparently I can't see what I'm doing with the digital. One day...).
