Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownies

  • 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling (use 1/2 can for a shorter bake)

Optional Garnish

  • Whipped cream
  • Maraschino cherries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Batter – In a mixing bowl, whisk melted butter and cocoa powder; let rest for 5 minutes. Add brown sugar and vanilla, stirring smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then fold in salt and flour. Spread 3/4 of the batter into a greased 9×9-inch pan, reserving the rest.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling – Beat cream cheese with sour cream until smooth. Add sugar, egg, and vanilla, blending until creamy.
  3. Assemble – Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour cheesecake filling over the brownie base. Drop spoonfuls of cherry pie filling evenly spaced across the surface. Add the reserved brownie batter between cherries and swirl with a toothpick for a marbled look.
  4. Bake – Bake for 40–45 minutes until edges set and the center slightly jiggles. Cool 2–3 hours in the pan or refrigerate for neat slices.
  5. Optional Garnish – Add whipped cream and maraschino cherries before serving.
