However, it looked like a toddler had attacked it with a fork—which is, honestly, typical of me.

How to Make Creamy Cheesecake Brownies

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla.

Step 2

Mix in cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder until smooth. This is your brownie batter.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, egg, and vanilla. Mix until creamy and well blended.

Step 3

Pour most of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, saving a little for the top. Spread it evenly.
Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer. Then drop spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter on top.

Step 4

Use a butter knife or toothpick to gently swirl the two mixtures together. Don’t overmix – just swirl a few times.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is just set. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Don’t Overmix the Swir l: When swirling the cheesecake and brownie batters together, just a few gentle swirls with a knife or toothpick will create that pretty marbled look. Overmixing will blend the layers too much .
  • Line the Pan : Use parchment paper to line your baking pan. It makes it easier to lift the brownies out and slice them cleanly .
  • Flavor Boost : Add a pinch of instant coffee to the brownie batter to deepen the chocolate flavor .
