Cheesecake Brownies

Instructions for Making Cheesecake Brownies

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

Step 2: Make the Brownie Layer

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Stir in the sugareggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Add the cocoa powderfloursalt, and baking powder. Mix until smooth and combined, but do not overmix.

Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Layer

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
  2. Add the sugaregg, and vanilla extract. Beat until creamy and fully incorporated.

Step 4: Layer the Brownies and Cheesecake

  1. Pour about 3/4 of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
  2. Carefully pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer.
  3. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter on top of the cheesecake layer.
  4. Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the brownie batter into the cheesecake layer to create a marbled effect.

Step 5: Bake the Brownies

  1. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as the brownies should be fudgy.
  2. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 6: Slice and Serve

  1. Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment overhang.
  2. Slice into squares and serve. These brownies are delicious at room temperature or chilled.
