Cherry Cheesecake Brownie

This Cherry Cheesecake Brownie recipe makes the perfect dessert for any occasion with layers of fudgy brownie, creamy cheesecake, and luscious cherry pie filling.

Ingredients:

Brownie:

• 1 cup butter, melted and cooled
• 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or substitute with all-purpose flour)
• 1 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 9 x 13-inch baking pan
• Large bowl for mixing

Cherry Cheesecake:

• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 can cherry pie filling
• Electric mixer
• Bowl for mixing

Directions:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)
• Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with foil and grease with cooking spray

Brownie layer:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar
• Add vanilla and eggs, whisking until combined
• Stir in flour, cocoa, and salt until the batter is thick
• Spread just over half of the brownie batter into the bottom of the prepared pan

Cherry Cheesecake layer:

• In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, egg, vanilla, and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth
• Spread this mixture over the brownie layer
• Dollop spoonfuls of cherry pie filling over the cheesecake layer
• Gently spread it out, not mixing into the cheesecake layer
• Drop spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter over the cherry pie filling
• The batter will be thick and won't spread easily - just try to cover as much filling as possible
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center appears set but is still slightly jiggly due to the gooey filling

Finish Up:

• Allow to cool to room temperature before slicing
• For easier slicing, refrigerate for a few hours

Enjoy!
