You’ll love these delicious cheesecake brownies with a rich, fudgy chocolate base and a light, perfectly sweet cheesecake topping swirled with chocolate. The slight tang of cream cheese really compliments that chocolate flavour and makes for a balanced bite.
DO I NEED TO REFRIGERATE CHEESECAKE BROWNIES?
Yes I would definetly keep them in a fridge it’s always better to be safe than sorry. They will keep for up to four days in the fridge or 2 months in the freezer.
These brownies are literally the fudgiest brownies ever! The rich sweet and sticky brownies goes perfectly with the tangy and tart cheesecake topping with whirls of more brownie.
DO I NEED A BAKING SHEET TO MAKE THE BROWNIES IN?
You can use a larger baking sheet, all you need to remember if you use a smaller one if will take longer to cook. Always remember to put down parchment paper or the brownies will stick.
Don’t over-bake your brownies. Brownies are so much better when they are slightly underdone. Nobody want a dry cake brownie. brownies will not have springy center and a skewer inserted into the center will not come out clean so you just got to trust your judgment for when to take the brownies out the oven. Your brownies are done when the center is set and you see the cheesecake on the edges puff up a it just begin to crack.
This recipe is based of Preppy Kitchen cheesecake brownie recipe however i have tweak it a bit to get the fudgiest brownies and I have added sour cream to the cheesecake mix.
