This cheesecake marble brownies are just a DREAM! Homemade brownie batter topped with cheesecake, is so epic. In this recipe, there is a marble swirl; but if you wanted to do a double layer with brownie and do a full cheesecake layer, that would absolutely be delicious as well. I absolutely love prepping this head, making prior to bring to a party (or just to save for myself as dessert after dinner!) Such a special treat.
What ingredients do you need for these cheesecake marble brownies?
For the Brownies
- Butter
- Sugar
- Bittersweet chocolate
- Eggs
- Egg yolk
- Vanilla extract
- Cocoa powder
- Instant coffee/espresso powder
- Flour
- Salt
For the Cheesecake
- Cream cheese
- Sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Egg
Steps to make these marble brownies
Step 1
Take out your cream cheese to get to room temperature. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2
Make your cheesecake. First, in a stand mixer or hand mixer (or just whisked by hand). Second, mix together softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract and 1 egg until mixed throughout and there are no lumps. Then, set aside.
Step 3
Next, make your brownie mixture. In a bowl, add your cubed cold butter, and add in your sugar. Then, melt in the microwave in segments until melted throughout.
Step 4
After that, once melted and hot, add in your chopped chocolate and mix until melted and mixed together.
Step 5
Next, add in your eggs, egg yolk and vanilla extract, whisk until combined.
Step 6
Toss in your dry ingredients of cocoa powder, espresso/coffee powder and flour with a pinch of salt. Whisk until fully combined. Next, keep whisking until there are no lumps and everything is really smooth together.
Step 7
Line a 9×9 pan with parchment on all sides. Pour in your brownie mixture, smooth out to make sure it’s evenly in the pan.
Step 8
If you want a full cheesecake layer on top of your brownie mixture, you can do a full cheesecake layer and save aside about 1/4th cup brownie mixture.
Step 9
From here, do a full cheesecake layer, and swirl a layer with a few dollops of the reserved brownie mixture on top to get a layer of cheesecake, and then a chocolate swirl on top for a stronger cheesecake bite!
Step 10
If looking for the marble look, take a few tablespoons and add a few dollops of cheesecake batter around the brownie top. Take a toothpick or knife and create swirls throughout the batter.
Step 11
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. To sum up, you’ll know it’s done when you insert a toothpick and it comes out clean, without any batter on it. Cool the brownies and slice into your desired size squares and serve!
