Bacony, chocolatey brownie batter is baked up with little pockets of lightly sweetened cheesecake goodness, turning a basic chocolate indulgence into an amazing one. Bake up a pan of these triple treats and share them with someone special.
In answer to the comments querying the use of bacon: Yes, really!
I was planning on making cheesecake brownies for my husband for Valentine's Day and documenting the assembly process for Inscrutable. However, when I went to the fridge to get out the light cream cheese, I saw the bacon.
Step 1: Ingredients
One box of brownie mix -- I prefer the "family size" versions which can go into a 9"x13" pan
Ingredients to make the brownie batter according to the box (I like to use an extra egg for "cake-like" brownies, but that's personal preference)
Bacon bits -- Use about 1/4 cup pre-packaged bacon bits or cook about 4 strips of bacon until very crisp. Crumble or mince the bacon into small pieces so the bacony goodness is distributed throughout the brownies.
Cheesecake filling:
One 8oz package of cream cheese, softened
One egg
1/3 cup sugar
1 teas. vanilla

Step 2: A Tale of Two Batters
Brownie
Prepare your pan according to brownie package instructions.
Mix the batter according to package instructions*. Fold in the bacon bits.
*For more bacony goodness, you replace a little of the required oil with bacon grease.
Cheesecake
Place softened cream cheese in a bowl and beat until smooth. Beat in sugar, egg, and vanilla.

Cheesecake

Step 3: Filling The Pans
Pour your bacon brownie batter into the prepared pan.
Add the cheesecake batter using one of the following methods:
Dolloping (No Pastry Bag) Swirled Method
Drop spoonfuls of cheesecake batter all over the bacon brownie batter. Aim to distribute your dollops of the cheesecake filling evenly in the brownie batter.. Once the cheesecake filling is all added, use a knife to swirl it in a little. The goal here is NOT to mix it completely!
Pastry Bag "Injection" Method
Load your cream cheese mixture into a pastry bag with a large tip (I'm using a star tip here). "Inject" cheesecake filling into the brownie batter by pushing your tip below the surface of the batter and give it a good squeeze. Inject little pockets of cheesecake throughout the pan. Use a knife to swirl the cheesecake filling with the brownie batter, if desired. I kind of like them left alone. mmmm....

Step 4: Baking
Bake brownies as usual. You may have to extend the baking time because of the added ingredients. Test for brownie doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. When it comes out clean, the brownies are done.
