Delicious cheesecake brownies with a rich chocolate base and creamy cheesecake layer, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with the melted butter until well blended.
  3. Add in 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until it becomes smooth.
  4. Stir in 1/3 cup of cocoa powder, 1 cup of flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder until everything is well mixed.
  5. Beat the softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup sugar, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
  6. Pour half of the brownie batter into the pan and spread it evenly.
  7. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the brownie layer. Use a spatula to spread it gently.
  8. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the cream cheese layer. Use a knife to swirl it gently for a marbled effect.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  10. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.

Notes

For added texture, consider mixing in chocolate chips or nuts. Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
