Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla
- pinch salt omit if using salted butter
- 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour 37.5 g
- 7 tablespoons unsweetened dutch processed cocoa powder 45 grams
Cream Cheese filling
- 4 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree excess moisture removed
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 ℉.
- Line a 8x4 inch baking pan with parchment paper and/or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brownie sugar until smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, stirring until well combined.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. You can also mix by hand or with a whisk.
- Mix in the pumpkin puree, sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Add half the brownie batter to the prepared pan and spread around until even.
- Spread all of the pumpkin cheesecake mixture on top the brownie layer.
- Add the remaining brownie batter on top of the cheesecake layer. If desired, you can swirl with a knife for a cheesecake swirl instead of distinct layers.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes.
- Let the brownies cool completely before slicing.
- For perfectly clean slices, place in the refrigerator or freezer for 30-60 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- This recipe makes 6-8 brownies depending on how big you cut them (they are very rich, so I recommend 8 slices rather than the 6 shown). You can also double the recipe for a full batch of brownies.
- These brownies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.
