Cheesecake- Topped Brownies w/
Pumpkin Butter Swirl

 

 

Great brownie with a fall twist...
 

 

 

BROWNIES:

 

1½ cups 

 

butter (3 sticks)

 

¾ lb (12 oz.) 

 

bittersweet chocolate, chopped

 

6 large 

 

eggs

 

1½ cups 

 

dark brown sugar

 

1½ cups 

 

granulated sugar

 

3 tsp 

 

vanilla extract

 

1½ tsp 

 

salt

 

2¼ cups 

 

all-purpose flour

 

¾ cup 

 

unsweetened cocoa
 

 

 

 

TOPPING:

 

1 lb 

 

cream cheese, softened

 

2 large 

 

eggs

 

½ cup 

 

granulated sugar

 

1 tsp 

 

vanilla extract

 

2 Tbs 

 

cornstarch

 

1 cup 

 

apricot jam

 

1 cup 

 

pumpkin butter

 

 

1

Preheat oven to 325°F. Line 12x17x1-inch baking pan (also known as a jelly roll pan/ or half sheet pan) with buttered parchment paper or foil.

2

Prepare brownie layer: Melt butter and chocolate in top of double boiler (or carefully- in short bursts- in the the microwave). Set aside to cool slightly.

3

In a large bowl, whisk 6 eggs, brown sugar, and 1½ cups granulated sugar together. Stir in 3 T. vanilla, salt, melted butter/chocolate, flour and cocoa. Pour into prepared pan and spread to the sides.

4

Prepare cheesecake layer: Beat cream cheese using a mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add remaining eggs, sugar, vanilla and cornstarch; beat until smooth and dollop all over the chocolate layer. Gently use a spoon to spread out evenly over the chocolate, trying not to dig into the chocolate layer. If you're patient, it works out just fine.

5

Whisk together jam and pumpkin butter in a small bowl. Drop spoonfuls onto cream cheese layer and draw swirls using a knife. Try to stay inside the cream cheese layer only and don't pull up the chocolate with the knife.

6

Bake until center tests clean, about 40 minutes. Cool completely before cutting.

 

Yield: 3 to 4 dozen (a lot!)

 

 Cooking Tips

*It's best to cool these to room temperature, then wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight before cutting. You'll get the cleanest cuts that way.

**If you prefer, you can use Halloween-themed cookie cutters to cut out shaped brownies, but you'll have lots of tidbits leftover to munch on.

*Restaurant Quality!- would make it again.  "Really fudgy brownie- loved the brownie part.  The cheesecake layer is a nice change and the pumpkin swirl is really quite yummy with the chocolate.  These were especially good with a little scoop of vanilla ice cream!"
