I have been wanting to share this recipe for the longest time. Every since this Salted Caramel Pecan dip went viral, I knew this easy recipe was going to be one that you guys would love just as much, if not more.
What You’ll Need:
chocolate chips – both semi-sweet and bittersweet are needed for the brownies. If you want to, you can use just semi-sweet though. I like the flavor of the bittersweet in the brownies though.
unsalted butter – we’re adding salt in later so use unsalted. Use a high quality butter as well.
sugar – used in both the cheesecake and brownies
vanilla extract – to add depth of flavor
eggs – to bind the cheesecake together as well as for the brownies
unsweetened cocoa powder – adds maximum chocolate flavor to the brownie cheesecake bars
cornstarch – this is used instead of flour in the brownies – it makes them extra chewy!
salt – of course 🙂
cream cheese – I used full fat cream cheese for this brownie cheesecake recipe. You can however use reduced fat cream cheese if you prefer but not fat-free. It just won’t turn out right.

Can I Use Brownie Mix?
For the sake of keeping this recipe nice and easy for the video, I used a boxed brownie mix. I know you love your shortcuts so using a box mix is an option.
If you want to use a box mix, that’s totally fine and I included the directions for that in my notes in the recipe below. Basically, f you’re using a brownie mix, just follow the instructions on the box to prepare the brownies and then jump to the the cheesecake layer section and start there. Easy peasy.
Tips for Making Cheesecake Brownies:
I made these cheesecake brownies in a 9-inch square pan. You can use an 8-inch square pan if you want slightly thicker bars. Add about 2 minutes to the baking time. You can also use a 9 x 13 inch pan if you want them thinner. Subtract about 5 minutes from the baking time.
For nice clean cuts, make sure to let these bars chill completely. Wipe your knife clean in between cuts as well.
Use high quality cream cheese and vanilla extract for the best cheesecake flavor.
If you have time, use my brownie recipe instead of a box mix for the best chocolate flavor and fudgy texture.
