The Best Cheesecake Brownies

Most people love both cheesecake and brownies. This recipe for the best cheesecake brownies combines the creaminess of cheesecake with chocolatey brownies to make one exquisite dessert. I've never even been that much of a fan of cheesecake by itself, but with brownies I compltely love it. So even if you aren't a fan of cheesecake I can confirm that you will love these brownies.

So what exactly makes these the best cheesecake brownies? I think that this recipe is perfect because the layers are balanced, so when you take a bite it blends perfectly rather than tasting too much like one of the layers. These brownies also won first place in the brownie category at the county fair last year, so there's at least some outside recognition that these brownies are really good!

How do you make Cheesecake Brownies?

It is actually very easy to make cheesecake brownies. You have to make two different batters, the cheesecake batter, and the brownie batter. Then you pour the brownie layer into a greased pan and spread the cheesecake layer on top. With a toothpick or knife, you swirl the layers together to give it a marble look and then bake it.

Tips for Cheesecake Brownies

• I use semi-sweet chocolate chips in this recipe, but you could use milk or dark chocolate if you want a different flavor. You could also swap out the chips for chopped up chocolate.
• I've found swirling the layers together works best with a toothpick. Don't over-swirl the layers or they will blend together too much. It's best to just lightly swirl them until it looks slightly marbled.
• It's always better to under-bake brownies rather than over-baking them since they end up fudgier when they are underbaked, but get too dry if you bake them too long.
