Ingredients
– 3/4 cup unsalted melted butter for providing moisture
– 1 cup sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 eggs for binding and moisture
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 2 teaspoons cinnamon
– 8 ounces softened full-fat cream cheese for creamy, swirled topping
– 1 egg
– 1/3 cup sugar
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a square baking pan with parchment paper or give it a light grease.
2-In a bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, eggs, sugar, and cinnamon until smooth, creating a base that’s full of fall flavors.
3-Next, sift the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, then fold it into the pumpkin mixture to form the brownie batter.
4-Once your brownie batter is ready, beat the softened full-fat cream cheese in a separate bowl until it’s creamy and smooth.
5-For a beautiful marbled effect like topping with ice cream, gently swirl the cheesecake mixture into the brownie batter in the pan.
6-Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, checking with a toothpick that comes out with moist crumbs for the perfect doneness.
7-After baking, let the brownies cool completely in the pan to keep their structure intact.
8-Serve them at room temperature or chilled for the best taste, and feel free to adapt for dietary needs like using gluten-free flour or vegan alternatives.
