These cheesecake brownies look as sweet as they taste and would be perfect for baby showers, Valentine's Day, a little girl's birthday party, or perhaps a breast cancer awareness event.
They are simple to make, using a Betty Crocker Super Moist Cake mix. You can make them by using a white cake mix, or if you want to punch up the flavor a bit, you can use a strawberry cake mix instead.
Ingredients:
1 Betty Crocker™ SuperMoist™ Cake Mix white or strawberry
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon chocolate extract
2 tablespoons milk or water, plus 2 more tablespoons
1 teaspoon Betty Crocker™ gel food color Neon Pink
1 (8 oz.) block cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325ºF.
Line a 9x13-inch pan with non-stick tin foil or with parchment paper and spray with baking spray.
Combine cake mix, melted butter, egg, chocolate extract, 2 tablespoons milk and pink food coloring in a mixing bowl. Stir until combined.
Reserve 1/2 cup of batter, then pour the rest into prepared pan. Spread batter in a thin layer in bottom of pan. Stir the remaining 2 tablespoons milk into reserved batter, thinning it out.
Stir together cream cheese and sugar (or pulse in a food processor). Add egg and vanilla extract and stir until smooth. Pour cheesecake filling over the brownie batter. Drizzle the reserved pink batter over cheesecake, then swirl using a fork or knife.
Bake uncovered for 18 minutes. Remove and cover pan with tin foil. Return to oven for 6-8 more minutes. The center will still jiggle slightly and will firm up as it cools.
Cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
When ready to serve, cut into 24 squares. Store any extras in refrigerator. Enjoy!
