Cherry Cheesecake Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• For the base: Make the brownies according to the package instructions. Let cool and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
• For the cherries: Combine the frozen cherries, wine, granulated sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil then simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Allow to cool for 30 minutes.
• For the cheesecake layer: Meanwhile, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla with a hand mixer or in a food processor.
• Layer 1/2 cup of the brownie cubes into a 12-ounce stemless wine glass, mason jar or similar. Top with a large dollop of the whipped cream cheese mixture, using a spoon to create a well for the cherries. Spoon an eighth of the cherries into the well, top each with a sprig of mint if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°.
• Line a 13 x 9" baking pan with foil, letting ends extend a bit over sides. Lightly coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• Topping: Beat together all topping ingredients in medium mixing bowl until blended and smooth. Set aside.
• Brownie: In a large microwavable mixing bowl, melt butter and chocolate using med power -- about 2 minutes---check every 45 seconds and stir. (Can also do in a saucepan over low heat.) Heat until chocolate is melted and smooth -- stir to make a smooth mixture.
• With wooden spoon, stir in sugar, vanilla and salt into melted chocolate mixture. Add eggs, one at a time, stirring briskly after each egg, until well-blended. Stir in flour.
• Spoon brownie mixture into prepared baking pan.
• Scatter heaping Tbsp of topping mixture on top of brownie mixture. Next, scatter Tbsps of cherry pir filling over top. Run tip of a knife through topping and pie filling to create a marbelized look.
• Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes or until brownie edges begin to pull away from sides and edges of cream cheese are slightly brown. THE CENTER WILL STILL "JIGGLE" WHEN SHAKEN EVEN WHEN THEY ARE DONE!
• Cool in pan on wire rack. When cooled, chill for at least 4 hours before cutting.
• After chilling, simply lift out by using the foil that lines the pan. Place on cutting board and cut into squares, and place into individual cupcake/muffin liners.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan.
• For the filling: Beat cream cheese, sugar, flour, egg, and vanilla extract in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy.
• For the brownies: Combine sugar, flour, cocoa powder, black onyx cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Beat together oil, eggs, corn syrup, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Pour into flour mixture and mix to combine. Spread 3/4 of the batter into the prepared baking pan.
• Mix 1/4 cup chopped morello cherries into the batter in the pan. Spread remaining cherries across the top of the brownie batter in one layer. Pour cream cheese filling over the cherries. Spread remaining brownie batter on top of the cream cheese filling. Draw a knife through the batter to create swirls.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is dry and edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, 25 to 27 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Let cool completely before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Spray 13 x 9 inch pan with vegetable mist.
• Beat filling ingredients on low speed until well combined, set aside.
• Place brownie mix, water, oil, and eggs in mixing bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until well mixed.
• Stir in cherries.
• Scrape half batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
• Spread cream cheese filling over batter.
• Dollop remaining batter over filling and swirl with a dinner knife to marble the batter.
• Scatter the chocolate chips evenly on the top.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool completely before cutting.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Melt butter in the microwave, about 1 minute. Stir in sugar and cocoa powder. Blend in eggs one at a time using an electric mixer; add vanilla extract. Combine flour (see Cook's Note), baking powder, and salt in a small bowl and add to batter. Mix until well combined and pour into the prepared baking pan. Level with a knife or spatula.
• Beat together cream cheese, sugar and 1 egg in a second bowl until smooth. Dollop the cream cheese mixture on top of the brownie batter.
• Separate cherries from the the jelled filling and dollop them over the cream cheese mixture, saving leftover jelly for another use if desired. Swirl together using a knife.
• Bake in the preheated oven until brownies are set and edges pull away from the sides of the pan, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and cool thoroughly before cutting into bars.
