Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter the bottom and sides if a 9-inch springform pan and an 8 inch square baking pan. Line the baking pan (but not the springform pan) with parchment paper, leaving 1 inch overhang on the sides. Wrap the outside of the springform pan with aluminum foil, covering the bottom and extending all the way up the sides.
- To make the brownies, melt the chocolate with the butter and let cool. In a small bowl, combine the flour and salt. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer on high until light yellow and thick, about 3 minutes. With the mixer still running, gradually add the sugar, then the chocolate mixture and the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and blend in the flour mixture just until it disappears.
- Spread 2 cups of the batter in the springform pan to make the crust and the rest in the baking pan. Bake just until set around the sides, about 10 minutes for the crust and 25 minutes for the baking pan. (The centers will be slightly soft.) Let cool on wire rack for 1 hour. Leave the brownie crust in the springform pan. Life the brownies out of the square pan onto a plate, using the paper hanging over the sides as handles. Cover both the crust and the square of brownies with plastic wrap and refridgerate overnight.
- Cut the square of brownies with a serrated knife into 1 inch squares and set aside. Put one package of the cream cheese, 1/3 cup of sugar, and the cornstarch in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low until creamy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the bowl several times. Blend in the remaining cream cheese, one package at a time, beating well after adding each one. Beat in 2/3 cup of the cream just until completely blended. Don't overmix. Transfer 1 cup of the batter to a small bowl and set aside for the chocolate swirls.
- Cover the chocolate brownie crust in the pan with small brownie bites (12 to 16), covering as much of the crust as possible. Use only one layer of brownie bites in order to leave plenty of room for the cheesecake batter. (Eat the rest of the brownies!) Gently spoon the white batter over the brownie bites.
- Now make the chocolate swirls. Melt the chocolate and stir into the reserved white batter until completely blended. Using a teaspoon, drop the chocolate batter on top of the white batter, pushing it down slightly as you go. Usinga thin, pointed knife, cut through the batter a few times in a swirling figure 8 design, just until chocolate swirls appear.
- Place the cake in alarge shallow pan containing hot water that comes to about 1 inch up the sides of the springform. Bake until the edges are light golden brown and the top of the cake has golden and dark chocolate swirls, about 75 minutes. Remove the cake from the water bath, transfer to a wire rack and let cool 2 hours. DO NOT move it. Leave the cake in the pan, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and refridgerate until completely cold, at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
- To serve, release and remove the sides of the springform, leaving the cake on the bottom of the pan. Place on a cake plate. Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of cream in a 1 inch border around the top of the cake. Sprinkle the nuts over the cream, pressing the nuts down gently, making a 1 inch border around the top outside edge. refridgerate until ready to serve. Slice with sharp, straight edged knife, NOT a serrated one. Cover any leftover cake and refridgerate.
