Absolutely! Here’s a rich and fudgy cheesecake brownie recipe that combines dense chocolate brownies with a creamy cheesecake swirl—totally indulgent.
Ingredients
For the Brownie Layer:
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter
- 8 oz (225 g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (65 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
For the Cheesecake Layer:
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. - Make the Brownie Batter
- Melt butter and chocolate together (microwave in 30-second intervals or over a double boiler).
- Stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well, then stir in vanilla.
- Gently fold in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined.
- Make the Cheesecake Batter
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
- Add sugar, vanilla, and egg; mix until creamy and smooth.
- Layer the Brownies and Cheesecake
- Spread half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan.
- Dollop the cheesecake batter on top.
- Spoon the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake.
- Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the brownie and cheesecake layers together—don’t overmix; you want a marbled effect.
- Bake
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the brownie portion comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are okay). - Cool and Serve
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing to keep the cheesecake layer firm.
💡 Tips:
- For extra indulgence, sprinkle chocolate chips on top before baking.
- Cut into small squares; these are rich!
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
If you want, I can give you a shortcut 1-bowl version that takes only 20 minutes to prep with minimal dishes—still fudgy and creamy!
