Cheesecake Brownies . . . thick and fudgy with chocolate chips and a marbled cream cheese layer, these brownies are rich and delicious!
I love brownies. I love cheesecake. Combine the two together and I am pretty much in dessert heaven! I enjoyed every bite of these decadent brownies, and so did the rest of my family.
I used my favorite brownie recipe as a starting point, then added some chocolate chips to the batter. And of course there’s that creamy cheesecake layer that takes the brownies to the next level.
Although these brownies look fancy, they are actually super simple to make. I think the key to perfect marbled cheesecake brownies is to reserve a little of the batter to dollop on top of the filling.
It works much better than just trying to swirl the batter up from the bottom.
After you add the spoonfuls of brownie batter to the top, use a butter knife or spoon handle to lightly swirl the brownie batter and cheesecake filling together. So pretty, right?
You can serve these cheesecake brownies at room temperature, but my favorite was when they were chilled. Maybe it’s because the weather has been so hot, but I thought they were fantastic straight out of the fridge. I also loved that when they were cold the chocolate chips added a nice crunch.
Whether you are a cheesecake or a chocolate fan, these brownies are sure to please!
Handy supplies for making cheesecake brownies:
Serving spatula – I have several versions of these, and I love them for everything from brownies to lasagna!
Whisk – a good whisk is a must for making the brownie batter.
Hand Mixer – Using a hand mixer is a great way to make sure your cream cheese mixture is totally smooth.

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? Don’t wanna put too little or too much. Thanks in advance 😊
These sound delicious. Do you have a Raspberry Cheesecake Brownie recipe? I bet that would be yummy 😋 to! Thank you for your recipes.
I’m excited to try this Kara! Thanks so much!!
🙂
Why can’t I see the recipe?
My site had a glitch last night and all the recipe cards disappeared. They are all working again, so you should be able to see the recipe now. Sorry!
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!
Okay these are amazing!!! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome, glad you like them as much as I do!
