I can’t speak for the brownie portion of this recipe because I used a boxed mix that I had on hand.

These tasted great once finished but my swirls didn’t turn out nearly as great because the cheesecake mixture was much too runny!!

The portion of cheesecake I mixed with the pumpkin was just the right consistency however I did have to add icing sugar (I didn’t have any additional cream cheese on hand or I would have done that instead) to make it thick enough to add ontop.

I would be cautious with the amount of egg in the future. Once baked consistency and taste was great! No concerns and they did still look nice just a little runnier cream cheese mixture than I would have liked for swirling.

I made these with gluten free flour and doubled the cheesecake part. My family loves them! I can’t make them pretty like yours though.

I am gluten free and modified this recipe accordingly, and make some adjustments based on the comments. Most significantly, I subbed the flour for GF Pillsbury flour and I doubled the cheesecake recipe. I had some leftover, but that’s okay. I’ll do something else with the leftovers. Just wanted to make sure I had plenty.

It came out AMAZING. Thank you for such a great recipe!!

In reply to Sam. Hi, Sam! Sorry the brownies didn't turn out the way you'd thought they would. This is supposed to be a cake-like brownie, as the photos/description/comments detail. I normally use salted butter unless otherwise indicated. Better luck next time.

Wish I woulda read the reviews before making this. It came out like fluffy like a cake, not brownie-like at all. I found the cheesecake instructions confusing and wasn’t sure if I was to use salted or unsalted butter since it just said butter. Bummer

In reply to Mina.

I’m sorry to hear that it didn’t work out for you, Mina. Was the cream cheese completely softened when you began beating it? If it wasn’t, it’s nearly impossible to make it combine smoothly and yes, you’ll see chunks. Unfortunately, if all of the cream cheese isn’t incorporated into the cheesecake batter, the other ingredients will certainly be too liquid.

All of that said, I understand your frustration, as I hate it too when recipes don’t work out as expected. I’ve put this recipe on my re-test list, just to confirm everything works as written.

The cheesecake part didn’t work! It was soupy and liquidy with tiny chunks (chunks!!) of cream cheese no matter how long i beat the batter! And the chocolate brownie part was too thick! I hat this recipe!
