If you’re a fan of both cheesecake and brownies, then this recipe is perfect for you! Combining the rich and fudgy goodness of a brownie with the creamy and tangy flavors of a cheesecake, this easy cheesecake brownie recipe with a box mix is a delightful treat that will satisfy your sweet tooth. Whether you’re a novice baker or an experienced one, this recipe is simple to follow and guarantees delicious results.

To make this scrumptious dessert, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 1 box of brownie mix (plus the ingredients mentioned on the box, usually eggs, oil, and water)
– 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
– 1/3 cup of sugar
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 1 egg

Here’s how to make it:

1. Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the brownie mix box. Grease a baking pan and set it aside.

2. Prepare the brownie mix following the instructions on the box. Pour the batter into the greased baking pan, spreading it evenly.

3. In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg. Beat them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

4. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter in the baking pan. Use a knife or a toothpick to gently swirl the two batters together, creating a marbled effect.

5. Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for the time indicated on the brownie mix box. The cheesecake layer may take a little longer to set, so keep an eye on it. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

6. Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
