Cherry Cheesecake Brownies
Ingredients:
For the brownies:
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the cheesecake layer:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the cherry topping:
1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Prepare the brownie layer: In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth. Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Prepare the cheesecake layer: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Gently spread the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter in the baking dish.
Add the cherry topping: Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the cheesecake layer.
Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack.
Chill and serve: Once cooled, refrigerate the brownies for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares and serving.
