Cheesecake Brownies

The only thing better than a brownie. . .is a brownie with cheesecake on top! That's exactly what this is! A gooey, fudgey, chocolate brownie with a thick, dense creamy cheesecake layer on top. It is so good. Believe it or not, I'm not a huge brownie fan. I prefer my chocolate in candy form (Snickers to be exact!) But you toss some cheesecake on top and it's as good as gone!

Cheesecake Brownies

1 box brownie mix plus ingredients to prepare
2 8oz bricks of cream cheese
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 Tbsp flour
2 tsp vanilla extract

1. Prepare brownie mix as per directions on box.

2. Spread brownie batter in a 9 x 13 pan

3. Mix together cream cheese and sugar

4. Add eggs one at a time, mix well after each addition

5. Mix in flour and vanilla

6. Mix cheesecake batter until smooth and creamy.

7. Spoon cheesecake over brownie batter

8. Spread cheesecake evenly over brownie batter forming a solid top

9. With a knife, swirl cheesecake batter with brownie. ( I like to swirl it lightly. I like a thick cheesecake layer on top, versus mixed into the brownies.)
10. Bake at 350 for about 30-35 minutes. Edges should be puffy and lightly browned and middle should be just set.
