Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies are an amazingly delicious combination of favorite dessert ingredients: pumpkin, cheesecake, and brownies.
One of my favorite parts of fall is baking with pumpkin. I wanted to make something different than the usually pumpkin pie or bread. So I decided to create Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies.
I always use canned pumpkin when baking since its convenient. But sometime I’m going to buy a real pumpkin and try my Good Cook Pumpkin Scoop out, which is available at Walmart, to make my own. I obviously used canned pumpkin for these brownies so they are not hard to make. To make the pumpkin cheesecake part, I beat together softened cream cheese, pumpkin, sugar and an egg until smooth. Then set it aside for later use.
For the brownie batter, I mix together melted butter, sugar and vanilla extract. Then I beat in one egg at a time into the mixture. In another bowl, I combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. I add the flour mixture to the butter/sugar mixture and stir until incorporated. Brownies are always better with chocolate chips so I got to stir in chocolate chips. My brownie batter part is then completed.
The brownies are ready to assemble. I used a 11×7 brownie pan I received from Good Cook. It was the right size and better quality than the other pans I use. The pan is non-stick but I still always grease every dish I own. I spread most of the brownie batter into my greased pan. I reserved about 1/2 cup or a little more of the batter to use for later. The pumpkin cheesecake mixture gets spread on top of the brownie batter. Then I added spoonfuls of the reserved brownie batter on top of the cheesecake part. I used a knife to swirl the mixture layers together to give it a nice swirled affect.
The Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies are ready to go in the oven. They get baked for 40 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Then I let them cool for a little before I cut myself a piece. The pumpkin cheesecake and brownie flavors are a great combination, especially when enjoyed with a glass of milk.

I would make the Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies. I liked the addition of the chocolate chips and the fact that I have almost all the ingredients.
