  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder

  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

For the Cheesecake Layer:

  • ⅓ cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg

For the Cherry Topping:

  • 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling (strained to remove excess liquid)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking pan or line with parchment paper.

  • Prepare the Brownie Layer:

    • In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar.
    • Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
    • Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined.
    • Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.

  • Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:

    • In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
    • Mix in egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

  • Assemble the Brownies:

    • Pour cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter, spreading gently.
    • Spoon cherry pie filling over the cheesecake layer.
    • Swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.

  • Bake:

    • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

  • Cool & Chill:

    • Let brownies cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Notes

  • Substitutions: Swap cherry pie filling for raspberries or blueberries.
  • Storage: Keep refrigerated for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Serving Suggestion: Enjoy chilled or at room temperature for the best texture.
