Rich and indulgent cheesecake brownies with a fudgy chocolate base and a smooth, creamy cheesecake swirl, combining two classic desserts in one irresistible treat.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix melted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract and stir until well combined.
  4. Mix in cocoa powder, flour, and salt until just combined.
  5. Spread most of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, reserving a small amount.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
  7. Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of the reserved brownie batter on top.
  9. Use a knife to gently swirl the layers together.
  10. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until edges are set and the center is slightly soft.
  11. Cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Do not overbake to keep the brownies fudgy.
  • Add chocolate chips to the batter for extra richness.
  • Raspberry jam can be swirled in for a fruity variation.
  • Chill before slicing for cleaner cuts.
