Cheesecake Brownies Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Brownies:
- 12 ounces semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Cheesecake Layer:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Brownie Layer:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth.
- Stir in the sugar and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Fold in the flour and salt until just combined—do not overmix.
2. Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
3. Assemble the Cheesecake Brownies:
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter in small dollops, then gently swirl it into the brownie batter using a knife or a skewer to create a marbled effect.
- Top with the remaining brownie batter and smooth it out to cover the cheesecake layer completely.
4. Bake:
- Bake the brownies for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. The cheesecake layer should be set and the brownies should have a fudgy texture.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the baking dish, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set the cheesecake layer.
5. Serve:
- Once chilled, cut the brownies into squares and serve. Enjoy the rich, fudgy brownie and creamy cheesecake combo!
