Equipment

8x8-inch baking dish
Medium mixing bowl
Electric mixer or hand whisk
Table knife for swirling

Ingredients

For the Brownie Mix

18.25 oz 1 package of brownie mix
3 tbsp water
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs

For the Cheesecake Topping

8 oz cream cheese 1 package, softened
1 large egg
⅓ cup white sugar

Instructions

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until well blended. Spread the brownie mixture evenly in the prepared 8x8-inch dish.
In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, egg, and sugar until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer or whisk.
Dollop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture on top of the brownie batter. Using a table knife, gently swirl the two batters together to create a marbled effect.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the dish before cutting them into 16-18 squares and serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, add chocolate chips to the brownie batter before baking.
You can make these ahead of time and store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
