Description

Blackberry Cheesecake Brownies combine the richness of fudgy brownies with the creaminess of cheesecake and the tang of fresh blackberries. A decadent dessert perfect for chocolate and fruit lovers.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries (plus extra for garnish if desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a saucepan, melt butter, remove from heat, and stir in sugar until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture until just combined. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.
  4. In another bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until creamy. Gently fold in blackberries.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture over brownie batter. Swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the brownie batter to maintain fudginess.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother cheesecake layer.
  • You can substitute blackberries with raspberries or blueberries.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend.
