Rich and fudgy chocolate balances tangy bites of cheesecake in these cream cheese swirl brownies with a marbled top.
After being married to J. for nearly 7 years, I thought I knew all his favorite things to eat especially because food and cooking are such a big part of our lives.
That’s why I was taken by surprise a couple months ago when I found out he loves cheesecake.
I can’t remember the context of the conversation or why we were talking cheesecake, and J. was very nonchalant about it.
A passion for sweets is something we share, but no matter restaurant dessert or homemade creation, chocolate is the default selection.
I suppose I should have known about J.’s thing for cheesecake.
Wanting to bake a dessert that combined our affection for chocolate with my new discovery about J.’s taste, I baked a batch of cream cheese brownies.
Rich fudgy chocolate played off tangy bites of cheesecake swirl.
Unlike a pan of standard brownies, the marbled top gave these bars a more formal look.
While no substitute for full-fledged cheesecake, these brownies certainly ticked a couple boxes.
Cheesecake is now on my to-bake list, and I know J. is anxiously awaiting a slice.
