    These Cheesecake Brownies are the perfect marriage of creamy cheesecake and decadent chocolatey brownies. With this delectable recipe, you can enjoy two favorite desserts in one!

    My family has two distinct camps when it comes to desserts. There is team cheesecake, who craves cheesecake it all its glorious forms. And then there are the chocolate fanatics, who think a dish is not really dessert unless it's chocolate.

    So in an attempt to try and please them all, I have come up with one dessert that combines the best of both worlds. And thankfully, this Cheesecake Brownies recipe did the trick.

    Layers of rich fudgy brownies seamlessly combine with sweet, creamy cheesecake to become a perfect sweet treat. Cheesecake Brownies are just the thing to take along to your next potluck, buffet or serve up anytime you need to please a crowd. They are so popular in fact, you may just find that baking one batch isn't enough!

    How Can I Soften Cream Cheese Quickly?

    Here's a great tip for making this Cheesecake Brownies recipe. Instead of waiting around for your cream cheese to come up to soften, you can unwrap your 8-ounce block of cream cheese, place it on a microwave-safe plate and microwave it on high for 15 seconds. It will be the perfect consistency for your recipe!

    Do Cheesecake Brownies Need To Be Refrigerated?

    Due to the higher dairy content in these Cheesecake Brownies, they are more perishable than regular counterparts. Storing them in an airtight container inside the refrigerator will keep them fresh for up to one week.

    I happen to think that Cheesecake Brownies taste best at room temperature, or even slightly warm, so you'll want to take the brownies out of the fridge at least 20 minutes before you plan to serve.
