Strawberry cheesecake bars
1/2 cup salted butter (melted)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
Cheesecake:
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Strawberry swirl:
1/2 cup strawberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
How to:
Start by adding strawberries to a skillet with sugar and lemon juice. Cook on medium heat and break up the strawberries as you cook. Cook for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is thickened. Take off the heat and allow to cool.
Melt butter in a bowl and add granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Next add in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.
Pour brownie mix in a parchment lined 9 x 13 pan and spread it out evenly.
Next add softened cream cheese to a bowl. Add in granulated sugar and mix. Add in egg and vanilla and mix.
Add spoonfuls of the cheesecake filling onto the top of the brownie batter. Add spoonfuls of the cooled strawberries on top of that. Use a toothpick to swirl cheesecake and raspberries into the brownies. Once swirled, bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
