Cheesecake Brownies

Healthy Fact of the Day

Swap full-fat cream cheese with a reduced-fat version for a lighter bite. Cocoa powder provides rich flavor with fewer calories than melted chocolate.

These Cheesecake Brownies are a dreamy fusion of decadent brownie and creamy cheesecake in one perfect bar. The marbled swirl creates an elegant visual while delivering layers of rich, fudgy chocolate and silky cream cheese that melt together beautifully. Perfect for parties, holidays, or when you want to impress with minimal effort, they’re as stunning as they are delicious.

If you love rich chocolate and cream combinations, you’ll also enjoy our Chocolate Cherry Upside Down Cake for another show-stopping dessert with fruity elegance. For more indulgent bar treats, try our S’mores Brownies or Peanut Butter Brownie Swirl Cookies—both deliver that same irresistible combination of textures and flavors.

    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter

    • 1 cup granulated sugar

    • 2 large eggs

    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

    • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

    • 1/4 tsp salt

    • 8 oz cream cheese

    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

    • 1 large egg

    Directions

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan, then set it aside for later use.
    • Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
    • Mix in the cocoa, flour, and salt until just fully combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a fudgy texture.
    • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly across the bottom using a spatula.
    • For the cheesecake layer, beat cream cheese, sugar, and egg until smooth and creamy in texture and consistency.
    • Spread the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter, swirling gently to create a marbled effect.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until the cheesecake is lightly golden and set.
    • Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares for serving.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
