brownie swirl cheesecake
This is one of our families FAVORITE dessert, especially our oldest son. This is the dessert he requests for me to make every year for his birthday. It is the best of both worlds...brownies and cheesecakes:) This recipe won't disappoint. You can make and eat once it has cooled, but if you can wait for it to cool and set overnight, oh my goodness.
