5. Spread half the brownie batter (about 2 cups) into the prepared pan. Spoon half the cheesecake mixture (about 1 3/4 cups) on top and gently spread it around. Top with the remaining brownie batter.
6. Crush the blackberries and swirl through the remaining cheesecake batter. Spread the blackberry cheesecake on top of the brownie batter. (You will end up with 4 layers)
