{That running will make you feel less guilty when you eat 3 of these in one sitting.}
Here's a comment from one of the guys Mr. E works with:
"If my girlfriend made these, I might have to buy an engagement ring."
Single ladies...let me know if it works.
{I managed to snap this with my phone before cutting and sending them on their way.}
The brownies are rich. They are luscious. They are decadent. I'd be willing to bet that people who say they don't like pumpkin would love these...they're more cheesecake than pumpkin.
Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies
for the cheesecake layer:
2 (8 oz.) packages (full-fat, people) cream cheese, at room temp.
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 cup (regular, not light) sour cream
2 eggs, lightly beaten with a fork
for the brownies:
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups sugar
1 cup Dutch-process cocoa (such as Hershey's Special Dark)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 TBSP vanilla
3 eggs
1 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Hershey's Special Dark)
Preheat oven to 325. Lightly grease a 9x13" pan. Set aside.
make the cheesecake mixture:
With the paddle attachment of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until no lumps remain. Add in the pumpkin, sugar, vanilla and spices, beat until smooth.
On low speed, add in the sour cream and eggs until well combined. Set aside.
make the brownies:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the sugar and stir over low heat until combined and hot, not bubbly. You'll only need to heat it for a couple of minutes, until the mixture looks shiny.
Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the cocoa powder, salt, baking powder and vanilla. Whisk in the eggs until smooth. Stir in the flour.
Pour about 3/4 of the brownie mixture into the prepared pan. Spread with an offset spatula. Pour the cheesecake batter over the brownie layer and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Drop the remaining brownie batter on top of the cheesecake layer. Use the offset spatula to swirl the brownie dollops into the cheesecake making a pretty, abstract pattern.
Sprinkle with the chocolate chips.
Bake for 35 minutes or so, until the cheesecake layer is set. Let cool completely on a wire rack, then chill and store in the refrigerator. A bench scraper makes a great tool for cutting them.

Bridget this is one of the most awesome looking creations I've seen in awhile. Pumpkin + cheesecake + brownies. The photos are stunning - the stark contrast of the layers, combined with the blue gingham, they just pop. Gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteWhen you say "pumpkin puree", can we substitute an equal amount of canned pumpkin? Cause... I don't really like pumpkin, so the closest I get is the canned stuff.

I made them! They are so delicious, but my lack of cheesecake experience made them very hard to cut. I think my oven is a little different so I don't think the cheesecake set like it should have. Anyway, we ate them despite them cutting a little messy and we thoroughly enjoyed them. Thanks for the recipe!!!
ReplyDeleteMy gluten free, cheesecake loving' man will love these while everyone else will have pumpkin pie. Then again maybe I should make a double batch
ReplyDeleteMy plan is to sub in Trader Joe's GF brownie mix instead of the brownie part of the recipe.
DeleteThat is a strange combination but it looks so good. I will make it this week for sure.
ReplyDeleteYummm it looks delicious! Interesting combo.
