Cherry cheesecake brownies are a delightful dessert that combines the flavors of rich chocolate brownies with creamy cheesecake and tart cherries. Here’s a simple recipe to make cherry cheesecake brownies:
Ingredients: For the brownie layer:
1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the cheesecake layer:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the cherry topping:
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and set it aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add the granulated sugar and stir until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture onto the brownie batter in the pan. Use a butter knife or a spatula to gently swirl the two layers together, creating a marbled effect.
Spoon the cherry pie filling over the top of the batter, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely before cutting into squares.
Once the cherry cheesecake brownies have cooled, you can serve them as is or even add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar on t
op for extra decoration. Enjoy these decadent treats!
