Equipment you will need

8x8 inch baking pan

mixing bowls

Electric mixer or whisk

Measuring cups and spoons

Knife and cutting board

Ingredients

For the Brownie Layer:
1 cup sugar
½ cup butter (melted)
½ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
12 numbers Oreos (roughly chopped)
For the Cheesecake Layer:
16 oz cream cheese (softened)
½ cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 numbers Oreo (roughly chopped)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Make the Brownie Batter:

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup sugar, melted butter, and cocoa powder.
Mix in 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
Fold in the chopped Oreo cookies.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.

Prepare the cheesecake layer

In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and ½ cup sugar until smooth.
Add 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
Gently fold in the chopped Oreo cookies.

Assemble and bake

Pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer in the pan. Level the cheesecake mixture on top.
Optional Step: If you want swirl brownies
Use a knife or spatula to gently swirl the cheesecake mixture with the brownie batter to create a marbled effect.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cheesecake layer is set and the edges are lightly browned.

Cool and Serve:

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing into squares.

Notes

Cocoa Quality: Use high-quality cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother cheesecake layer.
Swirling Technique: Don’t overmix while swirling the layers; just a few strokes are enough.
Checking Doneness: The brownies are done when the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
Storing: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
