Brownie Cheesecake Swirl Recipe

I made some Cheesecake Swirl Brownies the other day. Why is it that I always pick the hardest recipes to make?! These brownies were pretty hard to make but trust me, they are VERY rewarding at the end. These brownies will please any cheesecake or brownie lover because they are just flat out amazing. Now I didn’t enjoy these brownies as much as I should have because I had a little accident with them… I’ll tell you about it a little later.

I’m such a goof-off. What you see on the left is before the hard part. What you see on the right is about 30 minutes later. My very bad experience was with that same glass dish with the brownies in it. One night, I was cutting a brownie. It was a normal night with nothing out of the ordinary going on. The knife caught on a piece of frozen brownie and the whole dish slipped off of the table. It landed on my right big toe. There was immediate swelling and bruising. The moment I dropped the dish on my toe I could see that it was purple. I went to the doctor the next morning and he gave me a boot to wear to school and some medicine for infection. A few days later I had to go back to the doctor because my toe was under a lot of pressure and was bubbling up. They had to cut two holes in my toenail to let all of the fluids drain. My toe was not broken, but I will still lose the toenail soon. Lesson learned? Yes. CUT BROWNIES WITH TWO HANDS!

Even though these brownies hurt me, I loved them! They were some of the most delicious brownies that I have ever eaten. I am a big cheesecake fan, so the swirl really contributed to my enjoyment. The brownies were the perfect mix of chocolate and cheesecake. I might even make these again for the Super Bowl! Darn! My Patriots and Niners both lost. Go Seahawks!

These are amazing. I've made them twice in the last week--for a birthday and for fun. I gave them away so I wouldn't eat them all myself! Everyone LOVED them!

I confess to cheating and using 2 boxes of the Ghiradelli Double Chocolate Brownie mix, but I used your filling recipe and marbled it in as you suggested. It made my box brownies really delicious and no one guessed they were from a mix, thanks! (Btw, I had to bake for 70 mins using my method).

Glad you enjoyed the brownies but sorry you had to suffer in the process. Looks and sounds like it was worth it.

Keto Cheesecake Brownies Recipe

Sorry about the toe incident, I had one of my own with an extra large can of bug spray as a young college apartment dweller (ask your mom if you need more descriptive terms) which I dropped on my foot when defending truth, justice, and my kitchen back in the 70's! Enough said, these brownies are drool worthy on a snowed in day in SC. Keep up the good work, young Recipe Dude!Happy Friday friends! In a celebration of it being the weekend, and my cook book coming out, I’m giving you two things that I think you’ll love. First, a recipe sneak peak from my cook book 50 Fixes for Brownie Mixes! Today I’m going to share one of my favorite recipes from the book with you (but lets be honest, I love all of them otherwise they wouldn’t be in the book, now would they). Today I am sharing my cheesecake swirl brownies recipe!

I’ve made these brownies about a dozen times now, for different events with family and friends, as well as passed the recipe on to a few of them to make for themselves, and everyone LOVES them, so I’m sure you will too.

With a homemade sweet and creamy cheesecake filling, swirled in throughout your favorite brownies – these brownies really are irresistible. The tangy cheesecake contrasts perfectly with the sweet chocolaty brownies. And you’ll get the rich flavor of both in every single bite.

A little bit of Heath Bar and toasted pecans are in there too. The cheesecake layer will tempt you and the Heath Bars will do you in. These are moist and fudgy brownies. And this is one of my repeat brownie recipes. I make them often. Sometimes I don’t add the nuts, but I always include the Heath bars. They are so good!

First you’ll make the swirly cream cheese filling (cream cheese, sugar, egg and flour). Then you’ll make the brownie mixture. Some of the Heath bars and pecans are stirred into the brownie batter (you’ll save the rest for the topping).

Half of the brownie batter is then poured into the pan. Then you’ll put spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture on top and then the rest of the brownie batter spooned on top too. A knife is used to swirl the cream cheese filling into the brownie batter. Then the rest of the Heath bar and pecans are sprinkled on top. The brownies are then baked for about 45 minutes.

Chopped Heath bars and pecans are the topping for these brownies. Alternately, you can try using other chopped candy bars such as chopped snickers or Reeses (with peanuts) or chopped Butterfingers (leave out the nuts).

Cut them into 24 squares. You should be able to get nice, clean cuts if you wait for them to cool. I like to refrigerate mine for a good many hours (or overnight) before cutting.

Store cut brownies in a sealed container at room temperature for up to two days. If you put the sealed container in the refrigerator, the brownies will be good for about one week. They can also be store in the freezer- wrap them and them put them in a sealed container. They’ll keep in the freezer for up to one month.

The brownie portion of these cheesecake swirled brownies is adapted from my favorite brownie recipe (which you may also recognize from these Peanut Butter Fudge Brownies!). While I always prefer to make my desserts from scratch (especially if they’re as easy to make as this one), I have also made these using Ghirardelli’s Classic chocolate brownies with great success!  If you’ve
