How to Make Philly Cheesecake Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare your favorite brownie recipe (or use a box mix) according to package directions. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 8 ounces (225g) of cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gradually add 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, beating until fully incorporated.
  5. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Carefully pour the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter in the pan.
  7. Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the cream cheese mixture into the brownie batter to create a marble effect. Do not overmix.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (the cheesecake layer will be slightly set).
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This allows the cheesecake layer to fully set.
  10. Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy!
