Ingredients

Brownies

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 4 eggs (room temp)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Cherry Cheesecake Topping

  • 8 ounce cream cheese (room temp)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups cherry pie filling

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 350° and spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray.
  • Add the melted butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to a bowl, then beat them together. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat about another 20 seconds, until just combined.
  • Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until combined, then pour into the prepared pan.
  • Beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, heavy cream, egg and vanilla together in a large bowl. Place spoonfuls of the cheesecake batter around the top of the brownies.
  • Add spoonfuls of the cherry filling around the cheesecake batter, then use the tip of a butter knife and swirl the cherry and cream cheese layer together lightly.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 35 minutes.  The cream cheese layer will be slightly jiggly when it is done.
  • Remove and cool for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for 2 hours before cutting and serving.
