How to Make Cheesecake Brownies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare your favorite brownie mix according to package directions. (If using a boxed mix, adjust the liquid accordingly to achieve desired consistency)
  3. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat 8 ounces (227g) of softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gradually add 1/2 cup (100g) of granulated sugar, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter. Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the two batters together to create a marble effect. Avoid over-mixing.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (the cheesecake layer will be slightly set and lightly browned).
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Top with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
