Tips and Tricks for Easy Cheesecake Brownies:
- Don’t over-bake your brownies. Brownies do not have a springy center, and a cake tester inserted into the center will not come out clean. Your easy cheesecake brownies are done when the center is set and you see the cheesecake on the edges puff up slightly and just begin to crack.
- Make sure that your cream cheese is at room temperature.
- These brownies can be stored for up to four days in the fridge or 2 months in the freezer.
