Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies

Brownies, cinnamon, cheesecake, pumpkin. What a fabulous combination of flavors. This recipe is very reliable. And it is easy, easy, easy.


Okay, it does require three bowls, a mixer (I used a hand mixer), a pan, a whisk, four measuring cups, and four measuring spoons, but really, it is still very easy. I promise.

Brownies

3/4 C melted butter
1 C sugar
1 T vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 C all purpose flour
1/2 C unsweetened natural cocoa flour
1/4 t salt
2 t. cinnamon

Cheesecake

6 oz softened cream cheese
1 egg
1/3 C sugar
2 T flour
1/2 C pumpkin puree
1/4 t vanilla
1/2 t cinnamon
1/4 t ground ginger
1/4 t ground cloves

Instructions:

Line and 8 by 8 inch cake pan with foil and spray with spray oil. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

To make the brownies:

Beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla.
Add the eggs, beating them in one at a time.
Whisk the dry ingredients together and then slowly add them into the wet ingredients, stirring by hand.

To make the cheesecake:

Beat the cream cheese and sugar with a hand or stand mixer. Beat in the rest of the ingredients. 

To assemble:

Spread 2/3 of the brownie dough into the foil lined pan. 
Spread the cheesecake batter on top. 
Take the rest of the brownie batter and create three stripes on top of the cheesecake batter.
Take a butter knife or spatula and run it in swirls through the brownie and cheesecake batter to create a fancy pattern. 

Bake for 35 minutes, until the center is firm. 

Cool completely in the pan, cover with plastic wrap, and then place in the refrigerator. Once the pan is cold, lift the foil with the brownies in it, place the 8x8 inch square onto a cutting board, and cut into whatever size squares you prefer. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator. 

Uh... yum!
