Ingredients
Brownie Layer:
-
1 cup unsalted butter
-
6 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped
-
2 cups granulated sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
4 large eggs
-
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
Cheesecake Layer:
-
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
-
½ cup granulated sugar
-
1 large egg
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Cherry Filling:
-
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 13×9-inch pan with foil or parchment and lightly spray with cooking spray.
-
For the brownies: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and chocolate together in 30-second intervals until smooth. Stir in sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat in eggs, then flour, mixing just until incorporated.
-
Spread brownie batter in prepared pan.
-
For the cheesecake layer: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add egg and vanilla; beat until well combined.
-
Drop spoonfuls of cheesecake mixture on top of brownie batter. Drop cherry pie filling over the cheesecake layer. Swirl the toppings with a knife for a marbled look.
-
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until edges are set and cheesecake is lightly golden. Center should still jiggle slightly.
-
Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before cutting into squares.
