CHEESECAKE BROWNIES!
Ingredients:
18.3 oz (1 family-size box) Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge brownie mix
3 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups (about 3/4 of a 21-ounce can) cherry pie filling (Comstock Original Cherry suggested)
8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream, cold
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (gluten-free flour can be substituted)
Directions:
Prepare the Brownie Layer: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Mix together the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water until combined and pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Create the Cheesecake Mixture: Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and flour and beat for another 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the Brownies: Spoon the cheesecake mixture in dollops onto the brownie batter, leaving space between each for the cherry pie filling. Add dollops of cherry pie filling next.
Swirl the Top: Using a butter knife, gently swirl the cheesecake mixture and cherry pie filling together, being careful not to cut into the brownie layer too deeply.
Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes or until the center is set. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the brownie layer, which should come out mostly clean.
Chill: Allow the brownies to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Serve: Lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang, slice into squares, and enjoy.
To rewrite the recipe to match exactly the image you've uploaded, we would keep the method the same, ensuring the final product has that luscious cherry and cheesecake topping swirled into a fudge brownie base. The photo shows a rich, fudgy brownie with a generous cheesecake layer swirled with glossy cherry pie filling on top. Each component should be visible in the swirls for a visually appealing finish that matches the picture.
