Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Brownie Layer:
1 cup unsalted butter
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate (chopped)
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
For the Cheesecake Layer:
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
How to Make Cheesecake Brownies
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: For the brownie layer, melt butter and chopped chocolate together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or microwave until smooth. Let it cool slightly, then whisk in sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir in flour and salt, and mix until combined. Pour this batter into the prepared pan.
Step 3: For the cheesecake layer, beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and creamy. Pour this mixture over the brownie batter, spreading it evenly.
Step 4: Swirl the cheesecake layer into the brownie batter using a skewer to create a marbled effect.
Step 5: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are okay). Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares.
Tips for the Perfect Cheesecake Brownies
Don’t Overmix the Cheesecake Layer:
Be sure to mix the cheesecake batter just until smooth. Overmixing can cause it to break while baking.
Chill Before Serving:
For an even better texture and flavor, let your cheesecake brownies chill in the fridge for a few hours. The cheesecake layer sets up nicely and makes each bite even creamier!
Try Different Toppings:
You can add toppings like chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or a drizzle of caramel sauce to make your cheesecake brownies even more irresistible!
