Four decadent layers go into these Cream Cheese Brownies.


Cream Cheese Brownies take brownies to a whole new level! With 4 decadent layers of cream cheese, marshmallow and of course chocolate.

Cream Cheese Brownies

These are my husbands favorite, and my mother-in-laws specialty. They are served at all special family events including our wedding reception. Unlike other recipes I’ve seen for Cream Cheese Brownies, which have a swirl of cream cheese on top, these have an entire cheesecake layer on top of the brownie and 2 more layers on top of it.

Cream Cheese Brownies

It takes a little time to get the four layers on and cool in the refrigerator, but will totally blow guests away. The four layers are: the brownie base with the cheesecake filling on top. Those bake for 25 minutes and then you sprinkle mini marshmallows on top and bake for 2 more minutes. Once the brownies have cooled a cream cheese chocolate frosting is spread on the top. Because of the cream cheese in the recipe you’ll want to keep these refrigerated.

      It would totally change the recipe, but you could try it. Let us know what you think if you do.
      Thanks!

    What do you mean by 1 square of chocolate? 1/4 ounce would be one square.

          So four ounces of chocolate? One square (1/4oz) does not make a dark/brown brownie 🤷🏼‍♀️

    I have been looking for this type of recipe, since my favorite bakery closed. I would sit in my car eating their brownies till it was gone. I can’t wait to try this recipe.
