Cheesecake Brownies

These Cheesecake Brownies are a genius hybrid dessert, with a fudgy brownie base and creamy cheesecake topping, you can have the best of both all in one bite.

If you’re torn between having to choose between desserts, this recipe is the best solution! The rich, chocolate brownie base is balanced by the tangy cheesecake topping in these bars. They’re also pretty simple to make; the brownie base is baked first, then topped with the simple cheesecake mixture and swirled with some reserved brownie batter before going back into the oven to finish baking. The result? A deliciously decadent bar that everyone will love.
