Cheesecake Brownies
Thick and fudgy chocolate brownies and a tangy cream cheese filling are combined to create one of the true American culinary classics - the cheesecake brownie. Regular chocolate brownies are one of the favorite American desserts that have been internationally recognized as a quick, satisfying, and scrumptious chocolate treat.
The cheesecake variety employs the same rich and dense chocolate mixture as the base of the cake, which is topped with velvety cream cheese. Generously sweetened and infused with vanilla essence, the cheese is the perfect refreshing complement to the thick brownie sponge.
The cream cheese filling can be merely spread on top of the base, or partially mixed to create a visually striking marbled effect. This famous American treat is usually baked in pans and served sliced in square shapes which are meant to be eaten by hand.
Although classic chocolate brownies have been present in the American cuisine since the 20th century, the addition of cream cheese is a fairly modern invention that quickly gained popularity, and today stands as one of the favorite types of brownies.
WHERE TO EAT The best Cheesecake Brownies in the world (according to food experts)
"But hold off on those spicy Bloody Marys a little and save room for dessert. Murphy’s Bonzo cake—a classic to Atlantans—is really not a cake; it’s actually a brownie layered with cheesecake layered with chocolate mousse that’s topped with whipped cream. Whew."
"Coated lovingly with fudge and Callebut chocolate shipped all the way from Belgium, this place takes brownies to a whole new level. If you’re feeling adventurous, go for the “Jolt” with espresso cream cheese brownie batter, peanut butter and chocolate chips, and crushed peanuts to really get your day going."
"Big Booty Bread Co has one of the most moist cakes around and their frosting is creamy, you know, how a cream cheese frosting should taste."
"Like the best vegan kitchens, it could take a few trips to Michelle Barton’s two-year-old Clementine Bakery to realize what’s missing from your blueberry cream cheese brownie."
