Assembling the Brownies:

  1. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan.
  2. Dollop the cheesecake filling on top of the brownie batter.
  3. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake filling.
  4. Use a knife or spatula to create a swirly design with the cheesecake filling.

Baking the Brownies:

  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  2. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
