In honor of Valentine’s Day and National Brownie Day (February 10th) I created a Cherry Marbled Cheesecake Triple Chocolate Brownie that even a husband could make to please his wife.
I came up with this idea last Sunday in church. Christie, my wife, said I should be paying more attention. I said it was divine intervention. When I got home I started researching recipes. My recipe was inspired by “Parsley” on Food.com
This brownie is very easy to make using Ghiradelli Triple Chocolate Brownie Mix. We buy the industrial size box from Costco to keep on hand usually for a last-minute desserts or for the to take for a school function.
It is essential to let the brownies chill in the fridge for several hours. Christie brought these to her work today for a Valentine’s day pot luck. After we cut the brownies we placed individual servings into small cupcake cups.
I also will post an easy Valentine’s day dinner which all husbands can make for their significant other. Ladies show him the recipe and let him create a special dinner for you. But don’t let him be like me and have you clean up. Christie loves my food but dreads the mess.
Happy Valentine’s Day!!
Cherry Marbled Cheesecake Triple Chocolate Brownies
Total Time: 5hr 15 mins Prep Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 45 -55 mins Cool Time: 3 – 5 hrs
Ingredients:
Brownie
1 18-21 oz. package brownie mix. I used Ghiridilli Triple Chocolate from Costco. Any brownie mix will work
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup oil
1 large egg
Topping
2 8 oz. packages cream cheese. I used low-fat cream cheese and it worked fine.
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (21 ounce) cans cherry pie filling
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°.
2. Line a 13 x 9″ baking pan with foil, letting ends extend a bit over sides. Coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
3. For brownie: mix oil, water and egg in large bowl. Add package of dry brownie mix. Stir until moistened. Do not over mix. If using a different brownie prepare according to package directions.
4. Spread brownie mix in bottom of pan
5. For topping: Beat together all topping ingredients in medium mixing bowl until blended and smooth. About 3 minutes
6. Drop heaping tbsp. of topping mixture on top of brownie mixture.
7. Scatter cherry pie filling over top of cheesecake topping mix.
8. Run tip of a knife through topping and pie filling to create a marbleized look.
9. Bake at 350° for 45-55 minutes or until brownie edges begin to pull away from sides and edges of cream cheese are slightly brown. The center will not look set even when done.
10. Cool in pan on wire rack. When cooled, chill for at least 3-5 hours in refrigerator before cutting.
11. When chilled, lift out brownies using foil, onto cutting board. Carefully remove foil. If foil does not release cut brownies into individual pieces then remove foil.
Enjoy and Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
