Normally I like to make my brownies from scratch, but if you have a box of brownie mix in your cupboard, these are about the easiest fancy brownies on the planet to make for a last minute dessert. Plus, they look pretty cool too. 😉
Easy Dessert Recipes – Cheesecake Brownies
Ingredients
Scale
1 standard brownie mix {I used Pillsbury}
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 large egg yolk
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions.
- Pour into a lined 9- inch square pan and set aside.
- Using a mixer, whip combine the cheesecake mixture until creamy and smooth.
- Drop spoonfuls of cheesecake mixture {2 tablespoons at a time} over the brownie mixture in a pretty pattern {if you have OCD like me}.
- Then, using a butter knife bring out your inner artist and gently swirl the cream cheese on top of the brownie mixture.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 35-40 minutes, or until done.
- Cool for about 30 minutes and then serve with a big, fat, scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Then promptly adjust your belt.

You forgot to add a “burp” to that (excuse me please). Oh and thanks for the bit about the kale…my sister has hers in her dehydrator as I am typing this. And we added some to chickpea crackers we made today. Awesome!

Anything that starts with two cans of sweetened condensed milk can’t be all that bad for you. Can I lick the lids? I love the thickened milk stuck to the lids.
