This Cherry Cheesecake Brownie recipe blends rich chocolate brownies with creamy cheesecake and sweet cherries. An indulgent dessert that's perfect for any occasion.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine melted butter, 1.5 cups of sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Beat in 3 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
In another bowl, beat together cream cheese, remaining 0.5 cups sugar, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Spoon the cheesecake mixture onto the brownie batter and swirl gently with a knife.
Scatter the chopped cherries over the top.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Let the brownies cool in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is softened to prevent lumps in the cheesecake mixture. These brownies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
