Let’s Make Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Brownies

  • Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, mix the cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar until it is fluffy and set it aside.
  • Prepare the brownies according to the box-mix instructions.
  • Pour the brownie mix into a baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray or lined with parchment paper.
  • Dollop the cream cheese mixture all over the top of the brownie mix.
  • Dollop the cheery pie mix on top of the brownie mix.
  • Use the back of a spoon or a popsicle stick to swirl the cream cheese and cherries into the brownie mixture.
  • Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

  • The brownie mix I use calls for 2 or 3 eggs depending on how you like your brownies – chewy or cake-like. I recommend using 3 eggs. The brownies will still have a chewy texture.
  • Use all of the cream cheese mixture even if it looks like there is too much. It will bake in and create little pockets of cheesecake flavor.
  • All ovens are different so begin checking the brownies at 30 minutes and add more time 3-5 minutes at a time.
  • You can freeze any leftover canned cherries for up to 3 months. They are great for topping yogurt, ice cream, or blending in a morning smoothy.
  • Get creative – you can change this recipe by using raspberry pie filling or blueberry pie filling.

      Hi Donna, I used a standard-sized mix which is 18.3 oz. I baked them in an 8″ x 11.5″.

    Can I make these the night before? Do they need to be kept in the fridge?

      Yes, I would suggest coving them with non-stick foil.

    I messed up on mine. I used 8 oz. Creamcheese and 21oz cherry pie filling. I think it was too much because the bars didn’t bake well, even though I baked them for an additional 15 minutes.

    None has actually answered the question- do you need to store these in the refrigerator? Or can you leave them at room temp for a couple of days? I understand they should be lightly covered, but where??
    Thank you

      I live in a warm and humid climate so I store them in the refrigerator.
