Cherry Cheesecake Brownies – who can resist a rich and chewy brownie with a creamy layer of cherry cheesecake on the top?
Guys, these brownies are epic. I mean come on . . . three layers of decadence all packed into one treat. You just can’t go wrong. Every single bite is scrumptious!
I love the combination of brownies and cheesecake. My Oreo Cheesecake Brownies are a favorite. But I’d never tried a cherry version. I bookmarked this recipe months ago, and I waited way too long to actually make them. They are definitely a new favorite!
They are simple to make, and they turn out so pretty with the cherry swirl on top. They are sure to be a crowd pleaser. I know I had a hard time resisting them.

- 1 cup butter, melted
- 2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup cocoa
