I love brownies and I love cheesecake. This Cream Cheese Brownies recipe combines the two. It’s made very easily with a box of brownie mix.
The cheesecake layer cooks perfectly and the brownie layer is very moist.
This is a great way to fancy up a simple box of brownies. Just be sure you get the mix that says it’s for a 13×9 inch pan.

- 2 eggs or what your mix calls for
Topping
- 1 8 ounce package cream cheese
- 1/3 cup sugar

- Add the sugar and mix. Add the vanilla and egg; mix until well-blended.
- Place the cheese mixture in spoon fulls over the whole pan, leaving some brownie showing in between.
