Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (not cold straight from the fridge)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced small (about 150 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry jam or preserves (preferably seedless)
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Make the brownie batter: Combine the melted butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  • Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry mix into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined—avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
  • Prepare the cheesecake mixture: Beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar in a medium bowl until creamy and completely smooth.
  • Layer the batter and cheesecake: Pour half of the brownie batter into your prepared pan and smooth it out. Dollop half of the cheesecake mixture on top in spoonfuls. Repeat with the remaining brownie batter and cheesecake mixture.
  • Swirl the layers: Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the brownie and cheesecake layers together, creating pretty marbling. Don’t overdo it—you want distinct swirls, not a fully blended mix.
  • Add the strawberry swirl: Mix the diced strawberries with the strawberry jam. Spoon this mixture evenly over the top of the marbled batter. Use the knife again to swirl the strawberries lightly into the batter.
  • Bake: Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The brownies should look set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center when you gently shake the pan.
  • Cool fully: Let your brownies cool in the pan at room temperature for at least an hour.
  • Slice and serve: Once cooled, run a sharp knife along the edges and cut into squares.
  • Notes

    Easy Strawberry Cheesecake Brownies marry the rich, fudgy decadence of brownies with creamy tangy cheesecake and fresh strawberry swirls, delivering a balanced, delicious dessert perfect for gatherings or everyday indulgence.
