Zingy orange pairs so comfortably with the cheesecake topping and rich chocolate. The textures all complement each other too for a really fun batch of brownies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">These are definitely not your nana&#8217;s basic brownies. The addition of orange means that the kitchen will smell like a dream, and makes them perfect for a fun Summer bake or a cosy Christmas time bake. If you&#8217;re looking to bake some cheesecake brownies, or if you want a new chocolate orange bake &#8211; this is it. In the recipe I add milk chocolate chunks to the brownie batter, but definitely do use orange chocolate if you want!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The brownies themselves are super simple, dense and fudgy. They then get layered with a creamy cheesecake topping and lots of orange zest, and swirled before baking! The layers work together really well, and do need some rest\/chill time to set before slicing and serving. For neat slices, cut with a hot knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">For these brownies, we rely heavily on the melted butter and light brown sugar to give the fudgy texture and super shiny topping. You could make these for a bake sale \u2013 and the recipe is easily doubled. They keep well in an airtight container for a few days. That said, they don\u2019t last long if you\u2019ve got lots of happy hungry mouths in the house!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/IMG_1313-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The Best Chocolate Orange Cheesecake Brownies - A batch of brownies with swirled cheesecake topping.

You could use dark brown soft if you\u2019re really in a pinch. Light brown is definitely your best friend in brownies.<\/li><li>Melted Butter: This is what gives brownies that oh so Instagrammable shiny, crisp top. Don\u2019t skip this step!<\/li><li>Cocoa Powder: As this is a key component, I do recommend a decent quality cocoa powder \u2013 but don\u2019t stress if you don\u2019t have any!<\/li><li>Orange flavour: For a real orange-y kick in the brownies, I like adding some zest and a little orange extract. The extract is absolutely optional &#8211; you&#8217;ll still get a great result without!<\/li><li>Cheesecake: Combine this in a small bowl. Full fat cream cheese works best (of course) and use granulated\/caster sugar. Brown sugar gives it a darker colour. To swirl, use a chopstick or a knife!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">For The Best Chocolate Orange Cheesecake Brownies, I use a basic 8\u2032 square pan (<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2TmR6SP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">I like this one<\/a>). I also recommend a good stand mixer or high speed mixer (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B0828CKSFC\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=B0828CKSFC&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=tastingthyme-21&amp;linkId=05d2d347849771648718dbec6b6db060\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">like this one<\/a>) to make the brownie mixture.
