This mouth-watering dessert combines the rich, chocolatey goodness of brownies with the creamy, tangy flavor of cheesecake and the warm, spicy taste of pumpkin spice.
To make these delicious brownies, you'll need the following ingredients:
- For the brownie layer:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- For the cheesecake layer:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- For the pumpkin spice swirl:
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and set aside. In another mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add in the egg, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice, and beat until well combined. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter in the pan.
In a small bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and sugar until well combined. Drop spoonfuls of the pumpkin mixture onto the cheesecake layer, then use a knife to swirl the pumpkin mixture into the cheesecake layer.
Bake the brownies for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
These Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Brownies are the perfect fall dessert, with a rich, chocolatey brownie layer, a creamy cheesecake layer, and a warm, spicy pumpkin swirl. They're easy to make and sure to impress your friends and family. Enjoy!
