Ingredients

Brownie Layer:

1 (19.8-ounce) package brownie mix

Cheesecake Layer:

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 egg
1⁄3 cup granulated sugar

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preparing the Pan

Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix package.
Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, ensuring easy removal and minimal cleanup.

2. Making the Brownie Batter

Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions.
Pour the brownie batter into the greased pan, spreading it evenly to form the base layer.

3. Creating the Cheesecake Mixture

In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese, egg, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

4. Assembly

Pour the prepared cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter in the pan.
Use a toothpick, skewer, or knife to swirl the two mixtures together, creating a beautiful marbled effect.

5. Baking

Bake the cheesecake brownies according to the brownie package instructions.
To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with a few crumbs sticking to it, the brownies are ready.

6. Cooling and Serving

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
Once cooled, cover the pan and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set the cheesecake layer.
When ready to serve, slice the cheesecake brownies into squares and indulge in pure decadence.
