These cherry cheesecake brownies are quick to assemble. Feel free and swap the brownie portion with a boxed mix or your favorite brownie recipe. Morello cherries can often be found at stores such as Trader Joe's. Black cocoa onyx powder can be obtained through Savory Spice Shop®-- it's completely optional but gives a luxurious dark chocolate color to the brownies.

Time 45m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups white sugar
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon black onyx cocoa powder (from Savory Spice Shop®)
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups morello cherries, drained and chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan.
  • For the filling: Beat cream cheese, sugar, flour, egg, and vanilla extract in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy.
  • For the brownies: Combine sugar, flour, cocoa powder, black onyx cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Beat together oil, eggs, corn syrup, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Pour into flour mixture and mix to combine. Spread 3/4 of the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  • Mix 1/4 cup chopped morello cherries into the batter in the pan. Spread remaining cherries across the top of the brownie batter in one layer. Pour cream cheese filling over the cherries. Spread remaining brownie batter on top of the cream cheese filling. Draw a knife through the batter to create swirls.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until top is dry and edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, 25 to 27 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Let cool completely before slicing.

These brownies are my new favorite dessert! They're so rich and decadent, and the cheesecake swirl is to die for. I can't wait to make them again.

These brownies were a disappointment. The cheesecake swirl was too runny and the cherries were too tart. I won't be making these again.

These brownies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

These brownies are dangerous! They're so delicious, I can't stop eating them. The cheesecake swirl is addictive and the cherries add a nice tartness. I've already made them twice and I'm sure I'll be making them again soon.
