Cheesecake Brownies With Fresh Cherries

How to make Cheesecake Brownies With Fresh Cherries

Brownies:

1 cup unsalted, melted butter

2 cips of granulated sugar

1 cup all purpose flour

¾ cup unsweetend cocoa powder

1 tsp vanilla

½ tsp baking powder

4 large eggs

Cheesecake Swirling:

8 ounces softened cream cheese

1 egg

⅓ cup granulated sugar

1 can cherry pie filling

Preheat the oven to 350*

In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the brownies and mix well, until all is smooth

In a 9 x 13 inch baking dish, spread the brownie batter into a well greased dish

In another mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ⅓ cup of sugar, 1 large egg and combine well.

If you are using canned cherries, all you need are the cherries, not the filling.

If using fresh cherries, take the stems out and remove the seeds by slicing in half

Stir the cherries in with the cheesecake mix

Spread the cheesecake mix over the layer of brownie batter

Using a butter knife, create swirls through the cheescake and the brownie batter.

Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean

You can top the cheesecake brownie with additional cherries if you like, and of course, a dollop of whipped topping.

Enjoy!
