Cheesecake Brownies

You’ll love these delicious cheesecake brownies with a rich, fudgy chocolate base and a light, perfectly sweet cheesecake topping swirled with chocolate. The slight tang of cream cheese really compliments that chocolate flavor and makes for a balanced bite

These cheesecake brownies are the business! RICH fudge-like brownie on the bottom complemented with a light, slightly tangy cheesecake topping swirled with more chocolate. These easy to make brownies come together with ingredients you probably have in your pantry already in just a few minutes, and they look spectacular right out of the oven! These take my brownie recipe to the next level!

When you dissolve the cocoa powder in a warm liquid it releases more of the chocolate flavor and really steps things up a notch. This recipe blooms the cocoa powder in the warm butter and chocolate mixture but you can always dissolve your cocoa powder in a liquid for cake and quick bread recipes too.

Ingredients:

For the Brownie Layer:

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

For the Cheesecake Layer:

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan.
Brownie Layer: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Remove from heat, and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Beat in cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder. Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
Cheesecake Layer: In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Spread the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter in the pan.
Swirl the layers together using a knife or skewer.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan. Let cool in pan before slicing.
