Pumpkin cheesecake brownies are the perfect fall treat, combining the rich flavors of chocolate, pumpkin, and creamy cheesecake into one irresistible dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
For the brownie layer:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the pumpkin cheesecake layer:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add in the pumpkin puree, sugar, egg, and pumpkin pie spice, and beat until well combined.
- Pour the pumpkin cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter in the pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the pumpkin cheesecake mixture into the brownie batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly firm.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
- Serve and enjoy your delicious Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies!
Notes
- If you want two perfect layers as seen in the photos, when you’re swirling with a skewer, make sure you mostly only swirl the top two layers and don’t touch the bottom brownie layer.
- Store your leftover brownies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
