The Best Cheesecake Brownies Recipe | No Mixer Needed!
:: Cook Me Food ::
These cheesecake brownies are guaranteed rich and fudgy chocolate brownie topped with a layer of luxurious cheesecake swirled into the brownie batter that creates a wonderfully tangy contrast to the robust chocolate flavor. This is an eye-catching decadent dessert that's easy to make and worthy of any special occasions.
You’ll need:
Cheesecake:
• 16 oz. full fat cream cheese/regular cream cheese (softened)
• ½ cup white sugar
• 2 large eggs (room temperature)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
Brownies:
• 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 3 medium eggs (room temperature)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup cocoa powder (preferably dutch-processed)
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tbsp hot water
Chill. Serve. Enjoy!

:: HELPFUL HINTS ::
Make sure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature. If they aren’t at true room temperature the batter will not mix evenly together and you’ll end up with clumpy cheesecake or batter.
Don’t over bake the cheesecake brownies. If you over bake the brownies, the cream cheese layer will turn brown and dry out. And the brownie layer won't be as fudgy.
Start checking about 5 minutes before they are supposed to be done. For brownies, a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs. You can take out the brownies when the cheesecake is still a little wobbly.
To get clean, neat slices, allow brownies to cool completely and refrigerate them for at least 2 - 4 hours or overnight. Before slicing, run the knife blade under hot water to warm it. Dry it before making a cut. Wipe the knife clean in between cuts.
I used a chopstick to swirl the batters together but a long wooden skewer or a butter knife will do just fine.
Happy baking!
Thanks for watching!
