Steam Cheesecake Brownie 蒸芝士布朗尼蛋糕

I think baked cheesecake brownie before but I have not tried steaming one.  So today, I shall try this Steam Cheesecake Brownie 蒸芝士布朗尼蛋糕 for a change.

Learning experience: 

The texture is moist and soft.  My neighbour can't tell it was cream cheese in the middle as it was so light.

My hub did not think it was brownies as it was not the usual brownies that he is used to.

Overall, this is a good recipe.
