This Cream Cheese Brownie recipe begins with whipping up homemade double chocolate brownie batter. My hands-down favorite chocolate brownie recipe is My Better than a Boyfriend Brownies (true story). These brownies have the crackly top and chewy centers that everyone wants in a brownie.

The cheesecake swirl is made by whipping up cream cheese until fluffy and adding sugar, an egg, and vanilla. The cheesecake swirl is the perfect marriage for a sweet and rich brownie. It is tangy and just lightly sweetened so it pairs so well.

How to make Cream Cheese Brownies:

  • Start by making Homemade Brownie Batter. Cream together butter and sugars for at least 4 minutes to create a creamy texture. Fold in the dry ingredients and chocolate chips and spread into pan.
  • Make Cheesecake Filling by whipping cream cheese for 3-4 minutes, until light and fluffy. Stir in sugar, egg, and vanilla and whip until smooth.
  • Drop Cream Cheese Filling, by the spoonful, onto the brownie batter into the pan. Swirl the cheesecake filling into the brownie batter, making decorative swirls.
  • Bake just until cooked through. Don’t overbake these cream cheese brownies since it will make the cheesecake filling dry.

Here’s my favorite 9 x 13 pan. I love it because it creates perfect squared edges. Also, I love to use a smaller dessert bar sized spatula to remove the brownies from the pan.

    Hi Melissa! Have you tried this with your Gluten-Free Brownie recipe and what are your thoughts on adding caramel to the recipe? Do you think it would incorporate well if I swirl it in?
