Ingredients

  • 1 box Brownie Mix
  • Egg, oil and water as listed on box directions
  • 8 oz cream cheese Softened
  • 1 large egg For Cheesecake Filling
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint or mint extract
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Few drops green food coloring

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9X9 pan with foil and spray the bottom with nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix brownie mix, water, oil, and egg with a wooden spoon until combined. Spread about 3/4 mix in prepared pan.
  • In the bowl of your mixer, or separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with your whisk attachment until smooth. Add egg, sugar, extract and food coloring and continue beating until well mixed.
  • Spoon cream cheese mixture over the brownies in dollops
  • Spoon remaining brownie batter randomly over the cream cheese.
  • With a small knife, swirl the batter so the cream cheese and brownie batter become marbled.
  • Bake for about 30 - 35 minutes, until edges are brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Do not overbake. Cool completely, then refrigerate until chilled. Peel off foil, cut, wrap, and store or consume.
  • Tip, Be careful with the extract not to over use. Extract can be a fire hazard, if too close to oven flame.

Notes

NOTES:
This recipe does not take into account the extra ingredients your brownie mix needs. Please consider what you add to your nutrition facts. 
Be careful with the extract not to overuse it. The extract can be a fire hazard, if too close to the oven flame.
Chilling Time: After baking, allow the Mint Cheesecake Brownies to cool at room temperature for a bit and then refrigerate them for a few hours or overnight. Chilling helps the cheesecake layer set and enhances the flavors. It also makes the brownies easier to slice into clean, neat squares.
Marbling Effect: To achieve a marbled effect in your brownies, use a toothpick or a knife to gently swirl the cheesecake mixture into the brownie batter. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to create a beautiful marbling pattern without fully blending the layers together.
