Description

Delight in these luscious Strawberry Cheesecake Brownies that combine rich, fudgy chocolate brownie layers with creamy cheesecake and a fruity strawberry swirl. Perfect for dessert lovers, this treat boasts a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that will satisfy any sweet tooth.

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • 1 box (18–19 oz) brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on box — typically eggs, oil, and water)

Cheesecake Mixture

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Strawberry Layers

  • 1/2 cup strawberry preserves or jam
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Make Brownie Batter: Prepare the brownie batter according to the package directions, incorporating ingredients such as eggs, oil, and water as specified. Pour about 3/4 of the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  3. Prepare Cheesecake Mixture: In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  4. Layer Cheesecake and Strawberry Preserves: Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter in the pan. Add small dollops of strawberry preserves on top of the cheesecake dollops. Then, spoon the remaining brownie batter in between these layers.
  5. Swirl Layers: Using a butter knife or skewer, gently swirl the different layers together to create a marbled effect without fully blending them.
  6. Add Fresh Strawberries: Sprinkle diced fresh strawberries evenly over the top of the batter for added texture and flavor, if desired.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  8. Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 squares and serving.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, add chocolate chips to the brownie batter before baking.
  • Strawberry preserves can be swapped for raspberry or mixed berry jam for variation.
  • Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
