Super Simple Cheesecake Brownies

One of the reasons I call this super simple cheesecake brownies is because I use box brownie mix to make them. You can use any of your favorite brownie mixes to make this.

You simply make the brownie mix just like the directions say. Then mix the cheesecake mixture following the directions below and swirl it on top of the brownie mix. That simple!

If you want these to have an even thicker part of the cheesecake mixture, you can double that part and mix it in.

These taste amazing with a scoop of whipped topping on top or better yet a large scoop of ice cream.

Baked cheesecake brownies

Place pan in the oven on the middle rack and bake for 40 minutes. Then carefully cover the pan with foil and bake for another 10 minutes. 

It is done when a toothpick inserted in the middle of the pan comes out pretty much clean. It is ok if it has a few crumbs on the toothpick but should not have anything that looks like batter.
