Method
Heat the oven to 160C/Gas 3. For the malt cheesecake swirl, whisk together the cream cheese and malt extract, and set aside. For the brownies, melt the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Once fully melted, take off the heat to cool slightly.
Whisk the eggs and sugar together until light, fluffy, and doubled in volume. Fold this into the chocolate mix and then sift over the flour, folding gently.
Pour the brownie mix into the prepared tin. Add dollops of the malted cream cheese on top and swirl through the batter with a skewer or knife. Bake in the oven for 35-40 mins. Remove from the oven and cool for 2-3 hrs before cutting into squares. Top with Maltesers.
