  3. In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add 2 large eggs and 1/4 cup of the cooled coffee to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined.
  5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the brownie batter.
  7. Spoon the cherry pie filling randomly over the cream cheese layer.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
  9. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
  10. Continue baking for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
