Mint Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies recipes

Almost every weekend I bake a different cheesecake square or chocolate
brownies. On Mondays I take them to work. They are always a hit and this
is one of my favorites. Rich, fudgy, chocolate brownies swirled with tangy,
refreshing mint cheesecake!


Ingredients

BROWNIES

  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate*
  • 1 stick butter**
  • 1 ¼ cups sugar
  • ¾ cup flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon of salt

MINT CHEESECAKE LAYER

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 2 to 4 drops green food coloring
  • ⅔ cup mint chocolate chips

TOPPING

  • Additional mint chocolate chips to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  1. Melt chocolate and butter in a large saucepan*** over low heat.
    Let cool completely, about 30-45 minutes on the counter or 15-20
    minutes in the refrigerator.

  2. Once chocolate is cooled, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease
    or line a 9x9 baking dish with foil or parchment paper.

  3. Stir sugar into melted chocolate. Add one egg at a time, stirring until
    smooth between each egg. Stir in vanilla then gently fold in flour and salt.

  4. Using a stand mixer or a handheld mixer make mint cheesecake by
    creaming together cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, peppermint extract,
    and food coloring until combined. Stir in by hand the ⅔ cup of mint chocolate chips.

  5. Pour ¾ of brownie batter into prepared baking dish. Spread dopples of
    the cheesecake mixture over brownie batter. Add remaining brownie batter
    and swirl brownie batter and cheesecake layer with a table knife.
    Sprinkle with extra mint chocolate chips.

  6. Bake until toothpick comes out clean, 45-60 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
