Delicious Blackberry Cheesecake Brownies for a Sweet Treat
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Blackberries (Fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup Granulated White Sugar
- 1/4 cup Water
- 12 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 3/4 cup Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese
- 1/4 cup Greek Yogurt
- 1/4 cup Granulated White Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Prepare Blackberry Puree: In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups blackberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup water over medium-high heat. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and bubbly. Strain the mixture and let cool.
- Brownie Base: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and line an 8″x8″ baking dish with parchment. Melt 12 tablespoons unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in 1 1/2 cups sugar, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Fold in 3/4 cup cocoa powder and 1/2 cup flour, then spread in the baking dish.
- Cheesecake Layer: Beat together 8 ounces cream cheese, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1 egg, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth. Pour over brownie batter.
- Add Swirl: Drizzle the cooled blackberry puree over the cheesecake layer. Use a toothpick to swirl the puree without disturbing the brownie base.
- Bake: Bake for approximately 1 hour. The cheesecake should be set but slightly jiggly. If the toothpick comes out too wet, bake an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Cool and Serve: Let cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, then slice into 9 squares before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh blackberries for the best flavor.
