Delicious Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies

This recipe features fudgy brownies topped with a luscious pumpkin cheesecake layer, creating a perfect balance of flavors. The brownies take about 50 minutes to prepare and bake, yielding approximately 16 servings.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Make the Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, melt the butter and mix in the granulated sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder until just combined.
Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin spice, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Layer the Brownies: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Spoon the pumpkin cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer, then dollop the remaining brownie batter on top. Use a knife to swirl the two layers together.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
