Biting into a warm brownie is one of life’s greatest simple pleasures. I’m always making a batch of brownies for our family because it’s a favorite easy dessert recipe. There’s always an argument that comes up though – what is better the center brownies or the edge brownies? The answer may never be solved, but I know that I have nothing to worry about. My Husband likes the edge corner pieces while I prefer the middle – that’s why we’re perfect for each other. These Cherry Cheesecake Brownies are so simple to make and guests love them!

You can put a batch together and serve them warm with whipped cream or ice cream. Be sure to keep them in a sealed-tight container for storage, so they last a few days. Of course, that’s if nobody eats them first!

P.S. If you do love the edges – this Brownie Edge Pan from Amazon is your solution

Cherry Cheesecake Brownies: Easy Dessert Recipe

Butter the bottom of a deep 9 x 11” baking dish. In a mixer combine brownie mix, 2 eggs, ⅔ C. oil, and  ¼ C. water. 

Mix until thoroughly combined. I like to scrape the edges with a spatula to make sure everything is combined. 

Pour mixture into buttered baking dish.

Next, make the cheesecake mixture. Whip the cream cheese.

Add the remaining egg and beat until combined.

Add powdered sugar and continue mixing until it’s fully incorporated.

Alternate spoonfuls of cherry pie filling and cheesecake mixture into the brownie mixture.

Use a butter knife to swirl around.

Bake for 40 minutes. Cool and cut into squares. Serve with remaining cherry pie filling and whipped topping, if desired. They’re also great for brownie ice cream sundaes!
