Cherry Cheesecake Brownies

Cherry Cheesecake Brownies

These Cherry Cheesecake Brownies are a gorgeous bake that incorporates the gooey-ness of brownies, lusciousness of cheesecake and tart cherries. The flavors blend perfectly and these make for a far easier bake than a traditional cheesecake, but you get all the same textures! These are a great, and really easy, bake to make for Valentines or Valentines!

Ingredients

  • 100 g (½ cups) Dark/Semi-Sweet Chocolate Melted
  • 170 g (¾ cups) Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 100 g (½ cups) Light Brown Sugar
  • 100 g (½ cups) Granulated Sugar
  • 2 (2) Large Eggs
  • 2 tsp (2 tsp) Vanilla Extract
  • 80 g (⅔ cups) All Purpose Flour
  • 30 g (6 tbsp) Cocoa Powder

For the Cheesecake Layer

  • 225 g (1 cup) Full Fat Cream Cheese
  • 50 g (¼ cups) Granulated Sugar
  • 1 (1) Large Egg
  • 2 tsp (2 tsp) Vanilla Extract
  • 150 g (1 cup) Dark Cherries Fresh or Frozen

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 370℉/180℃. Line a 8″ square baking tin with greaseproof paper. 
  • If using frozen cherries, let these thaw. Either leave out in a warm place, or place in a bowl of hot water, or microwave 20 seconds. Slice in halves and set aside.
  • Melt the dark/semi-sweet chocolate by breaking up into small pieces in a bowl and heating for 30 second intervals in a microwave, stirring in between. Set aside to cool whilst making the brownies.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer combine the melted butter, and both the brown and granulated sugars on a medium speed until totally combined.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla and mix again. Then check that the chocolate has cooled a little before adding in and combining.
  • Add in the flour, cocoa powder and fold together. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

For the Cheesecake Layer

  • Make the cheesecake layer by combining the cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla. Pour this over the brownies. Scatter the cherry halves on top of the the brownies. Pour over any remaining juices and swirl a little using a knife.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes. The cheesecake may look a little wobbly but that is fine! Let cool before slicing and serving!
