- Boxed brownie mix (and ingredients to make the mix- oil, water & egg) - Cheesecake - 8 ounces cream cheese softened - 1/4 cup greek yogurt - 1 large eggs room temperature - 1/4 cup sugar - 1/2 teaspoon salt - Blackberry puree - 6 oz fresh or frozen blackberries - 1/4 cup granulated white sugar - 1/4 cup water
1. Preheat oven to 325°F. 2. Cook blackberry puree by combining all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes. Use a whisk or spoon to help break down the blackberries. 3. Once cooked, place a fine mesh strainer over a small bowl and, using a spatula, squeeze through all of the liquid and dispose of the solids. 4. Let cool to room temperature. 5. Spray a 9”x 13” baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. 6. Pour the brownie batter into the baking dish, spreading evenly to the edges. 7. Combine all cheesecake ingredients in a standing mixer using a whisk attachment. 8. Cream for 2-3 minutes on medium-high speed. 9. Pour over brownie batter, spreading evenly to the edges. 10. Drizzle the blackberry puree on top of the cheesecake in dollops and swirl using a fork, knife, or toothpick. 11. Try to swirl only into the cheesecake batter, not the brownie batter. 12. Bake for 1 hour, or until the cheesecake begins to turn golden and a knife inserted in the center of the brownies comes out mostly clean. 13. Place in fridge and allow to cool for at least 2 hours but up to overnight. 14. Cut into squares. 15. Enjoy!
Notes/Quick Tips: - Get creative! You can do strawberries, raspberries, blueberries etc instead of blackberries. You could even do a mixed berry. - It you are a fan of salt in your desserts, add an extra 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of salt.
