Cherry Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup gluten-free all purpose baking flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a medium-high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take a 9x13-inch baking pan and give it a light coating of non-stick spray to prevent the brownies from sticking.
3
Melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave for about a minute, or until it reaches your desired temperature.
4
Add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar and a small amount of cocoa powder to the melted butter, stirring until well combined.
5
Using an electric mixer, gradually add 4 eggs one at a time, blending until smooth and incorporating vanilla extract into the mixture.
6
In a separate bowl, whisk together 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1-2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 egg until you achieve a smooth consistency.
7
Add the cream cheese mixture to your brownie batter, mixing until well combined and pour it into the prepared baking pan.
8
Use a knife or spatula to level the batter and ensure it's evenly distributed in the pan.
9
In a separate bowl, mix together 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1-2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 egg until smooth.
10
Using a knife or spatula, dollop the cream cheese mixture on top of the brownie batter in small portions.
11
Separate the cherries from their jelled filling and dollop them on top of the cream cheese mixture, saving any leftover jelly for another use if desired.
12
Using a knife or spatula, gently swirl the cream cheese mixture and cherry filling together to create a marbled effect.
13
Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake until the brownies are set and the edges pull away from the sides of the pan, taking about 35 to 45 minutes.
14
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely before cutting into bars.
