Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirled Brownies
 
Ingredients
Brownie Batter
  • ¾ c. (1½ sticks) Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1 c. Granulated Sugar
  • 1 T. Pure Vanilla
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • ½ c. All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ c. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • ¼ t. Salt
  • ½ t. Cinnamon
Pumpkin Cheesecake Batter
  • 8 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 Large Egg
  • ½ c. Granulated Sugar
  • 2 T. Flour
  • ¾ c. Pumpkin Puree
  • ¼ t. Pure Vanilla
  • ½ t. Cinnamon
  • ¼ t. Each Ground Ginger and Ground Cloves
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8x8 baking pan.
For the Brownie Batter:
  1. Beat together the melted butter, sugar and vanilla until smooth, then beat in the eggs, one at a time. Whisk together dry ingredients in a small bowl and then gradually fold into the butter mixture by hand.
For the Pumpkin Cheesecake Batter:
  1. In another bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in remainder of ingredients until smooth.
  2. Spread about ⅔ of the brownie batter into prepared pan. Spread the pumpkin cheesecake batter over top, distributing evenly. Drop the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake batter and swirl together with a butter knife.
  3. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely and chill before cutting and serving. (They are MUCH better chilled in the refrigerator overnight.)
