Description
Cheesecake brownies are the perfect fusion of rich, fudgy brownies and creamy cheesecake, making every bite a heavenly experience.
Ingredients
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Granulated sugar
- All-purpose flour
- Eggs
- Unsalted butter
- Cream cheese (softened)
- Sour cream
- Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, melt the butter and whisk in cocoa powder until combined. Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth. Gradually stir in flour until just combined.
- In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over it, then dollop remaining brownie batter on top and swirl with a knife.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean but not dry. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
Use high-quality cocoa powder for richer flavor.
Allow cream cheese and eggs to reach room temperature for smoother mixing.
Customize by adding chocolate chips or fruit purees for added texture and flavor.
