Oreo Cheesecake Brownies

Oreo Cheesecake Brownies combine the rich and fudgy goodness of brownies with the creamy and indulgent flavors of Oreo cheesecake.

Ingredients:

• 1 package (16 ounces) of brownie mix (plus the ingredients required on the package)
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 12 Oreo cookies, coarsely crushed

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven according to the brownie mix package instructions. Grease or line a baking pan (typically 9x9 inches) with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. This usually involves combining the brownie mix with oil, water, and eggs. Mix until well combined.
3. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
4. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Add the egg to the cream cheese mixture and beat until well incorporated.
6. Fold in the coarsely crushed Oreo cookies into the cream cheese mixture, reserving a small amount for topping if desired.
7. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter in the baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
8. If desired, sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreo cookies on top of the cream cheese layer.
9. Using a knife or a toothpick, swirl the brownie batter and cream cheese mixture together to create a marbled effect.
10. Bake in the preheated oven according to the brownie mix package instructions or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
11. Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the Oreo Cheesecake Brownies to cool completely in the pan.
12. Once cooled, refrigerate the brownies for a few hours or overnight to allow them to set and make cutting easier.
13. Cut into squares and serve.

These Oreo Cheesecake Brownies are a delightful combination of flavors and textures. Feel free to get creative and add extra Oreo cookies on top or drizzle with chocolate sauce for an extra indulgence. Enjoy!
