Ingredients

Units Scale

For the brownie layer:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

For the cheesecake layer:

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the cherry topping:

  • 1 cup cherry pie filling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the brownie layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Add cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder, and stir until just combined. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  3. Make the cheesecake layer: In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Gently spread the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter.
  4. Add the cherry topping: Drop spoonfuls of cherry pie filling across the top and swirl slightly with a knife for a marbled effect.
  5. Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is just set.
  6. Cool and chill: Let cool completely, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Notes

  • For homemade cherry topping, simmer pitted cherries with a bit of sugar and cornstarch until thickened.
  • These brownies are best served chilled for clean slicing and firm texture.
