    Can you tell me how long to cook this for if I double the recipe to make in a 9×13 inch pan? Should every ingredient be exactly doubled?
    Thank you.

      I haven’t tried doubling this recipe in a 9×13″ pan, but for other brownie recipes that I double, the baking time is usually pretty close. I’d try checking them at 30 minutes.

      Hmm, I wonder if there was just a glitch. I clicked on the print button and it worked just fine for me.

    What exactly is the foil for, and can I use parchment instead?

      Lining the pan with foil makes it easy to just lift them out for easier cutting. Parchment paper would work too. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hi Kara,

    Can I use margarine instead of butter? And if so would it be the same amount?

      Yes, you can use margarine, and it would be the same amount. ๐Ÿ™‚

    These brownies are delicious! Easy to make. Love the chocolate chip addition. I did have to use 1/3 less fat cream cheese thatโ€™s all I had, but they were still great. Next time I will use regular cream cheese as called for! This recipe is a keeper!

      I’ve made them with the lower fat cream cheese as well, and they are still great. It just doesn’t set up as well so they are a little trickier to cut.

    These were super delicious and easy to make! It was the best of both worlds, a classic cheesecake recipe mixed with a classic brownie recipe. Baked for 40 minutes and they were perfect. Would recommend warming up the brownie mix before adding it to the top to swirl, it was a bit hard to do well when the mix was harder. Loved them!!

      You can double the recipe and bake them in a 9×13″ pan. You may need to adjust the baking time, but they should work just fine!

    Made these tonight and they are so soft and fluffy and cooked to perfection!! My one question is should they be put in the fridge afterwards or are they okay sitting out on the counter?

      They will last a day or two at room temperature, but they will keep at least 4 days if you store them in the refrigerator.

    Delicious! Accidentally baked at 400f for 25 mins but once I realised I covered in tinfoil and put in for another 10 mins at 350f. Only difference was they had risen way more and the brownie was a little less fudgy but they were still incredible.

    I also put the reserved brownie mix in the microwave on low, stirring every 20 seconds until it had melted enough, made it much easier to swirl into the cheesecake mix.

    Thank you!

    Hello Kara, Iโ€™m making this recipe for the first time and I was wondering if it would turn out just as good if I used a Betty Crocker brownie mix instead of making the brownies from scratch?

      I don’t think they will turn out quite as good, but I bet they will still be mighty tasty with a brownie mix. Give it a try and let me know!

    Can’t wait to try these! If I have unsalted butter should I add salt?

      I would add about 1/4 tsp of extra salt, but it’s not mandatory.

    I’m actually making them right now don’t you have to chill the cheesecake when it’s done in the oven or could you just eat it like that? ๐Ÿ™‚

    Really would have loved to make these if the recipe had specified which measurements go into the brownie portion and which measurements go into the cheesecake portion. Theyโ€™re all listed under โ€œcheesecake fillingโ€.

      So sorry about that! Somehow I deleted that line in the ingredients. The recipe card is fixed now, so it’s much easier to understand. Hope you enjoy them!

    Powdered sugar would probably work, but the texture might be a little different because it has cornstarch added to it. But I think they would still be tasty.

    Can powdered sugar be mixed with the cream cheese, or does it have to be regular sugar?

    I notice in the filling and the batter instructions they both say to mix in sugar but how much do I mix into each? Donโ€™t wanna put too little or too much. Thanks in advance ๐Ÿ˜Š

    These came out great! I’m at high altitude so I baked at 375 for just under 40 min and they’re perfect. Added extra chocolate chips because I really like chocolate… The brownie batter was a little hard to swirl on top- I’m wondering it would’ve made it easier to pop it in the microwave for a few seconds? Either way would recommend!

      I’m so glad you enjoyed them! Have you tried popping brownie batter in the microwave for a few seconds? I’d be afraid that it would actually start to cook. Wouldn’t want that!
