Tips for the Best Cheesecake Brownies
Chill Before Serving: Before you cut and serve your brownies, let them cool completely and set them in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours. This allows the cheesecake to set up and will make it much easier to cut your brownies.Bring Cream Cheese to Room Temperature: Make sure your cream cheese has reached room temperature before you start making your cheesecake batter. This will help everything blend together smoothly.Use High Quality Ingredients: If you use high quality cream cheese and vanilla extract in your cheesecake, you’ll end up with the best tasting cheesecake layer ever. High quality cocoa powder will give you the best brownie layers, too.Don’t Over Bake: Be careful not to over bake these cheesecake brownies. Start checking them for doneness at the 35-minute mark. Your brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a couple loose crumbs.
