Notes from the Test Kitchen:
Brownies alone are great. But add cheesecake to them and you've won my taste buds over. The icing is over the top. Adding cream cheese makes it delicious and the marshmallow fluff lightens it up. I could eat the icing with a spoon. What a yummy cheesecake brownie recipe!

Ingredients

1 pkg: family style chewy fudge brownie mix
3: eggs
12 oz: cream cheese
1/2 c: sugar
2 Tbsp: all purpose flour
1 tsp: vanilla extract
1 c: milk chocolate chips
1 tsp: canola oil
7 oz: marshmallow fluff
3 Tbsp: chocolate sprinkles

How to Make Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies

Step-by-Step

1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 9" square baking pan with foil to overhang sides by 2", coat with cooking spray.
2On medium speed, beat brownie mix, 2 eggs plus one egg yolk (reserve remaining egg white)and 1/4 cup water until combined, about 1 minute. Pour into lined pan. Bake 15 minutes.
3Beat 8 oz cream cheese, reserved egg white, sugar, flour and vanilla.
4Pour over baked brownie mix and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 20 minutes or until pick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely.
5At this point, the cooled brownies can be removed from the pan and separated from the foil if you wish. (I put the brownie on a cutting board to finish off the icing and sprinkles before slicing/plating.)
6Melt chocolate, stir in oil. Beat remaining cream cheese and 1 Tbs water. Beat in melted chocolate, then add marshmallow fluff until smooth. Spread over cooled brownies and chill. Top off with chocolate sprinkles (jimmies, shots), if desired.
