Description
Rich, fudgy chocolate brownie layered with creamy cheesecake and crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, baked to perfection and chilled for clean, indulgent slices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 115 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, divided
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
- 95 grams all purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 225 grams cream cheese, softened
- 60 grams powdered sugar
- 12 chocolate sandwich cookies, roughly crushed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk melted butter and granulated sugar until combined. Add 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mix until smooth.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold until just combined without overmixing.
- Pour brownie batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
- In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, remaining egg, and remaining teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until creamy.
- Fold in most of the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, reserving a small amount for topping.
- Spread cheesecake mixture evenly over brownie layer. Gently swirl with a knife and sprinkle reserved cookies on top.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing into 9 squares.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth cheesecake layer.
- Do not overbake to keep the brownie base fudgy.
- Chill thoroughly before slicing for clean layers.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
