Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
  • 16 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature, for cheesecake layer)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (for cheesecake layer)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake layer)
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt (for cheesecake layer)
  • 1½ cups strawberry pie filling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare your baking dish by greasing an 8×8-inch baking pan or lining it with parchment paper.
  3. Make the brownie base: In a mixing bowl, combine the 1 cup of granulated sugar, ½ cup of flour, ⅓ cup of cocoa powder, ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon of baking powder. Whisk gently until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and the ½ cup of melted butter together until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just well combined.
  5. Pour the brownie batter into your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  6. Create the cheesecake layer: Using a mixer, beat the 16 ounces of cream cheese until creamy. Add in 2 large eggs, ⅓ cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Mix until combined.
  7. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer, spreading it evenly.
  8. Spoon the strawberry pie filling over the cheesecake layer.
  9. Bake the brownies for about 40-45 minutes until the edges are set.
  10. Allow to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then transfer to the fridge to chill for at least another hour.
