Ingredients
Brownies
- 2 brownie mixes we like Ghiradelli Triple Chocolate
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2/3 cup water room temperature
Ube Cheesecake
- 8 ounce cream cheese room temperature
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup ube halaya
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Ube Cheesecake
- Mix egg, cream cheese, ube jam, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl with a mixer. Mix until just combined, do not over mix.
Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (325 degrees if using a dark or nonstick pan) while you measure out all of your ingredients.
- In a large bowl, add eggs, water, and oil. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
- Add two pouches of brownie mix and stir gently together until fully combined.
- Place parchment paper into 9"x13" pan. Parchment paper should hang over the long sides of pan, this will make it easier to remove brownies once done.
- Place brownie mix in pan, spreading it out evenly. Take dollops of ube cheesecake batter and place randomly. Swirl brownie mix and cheesecake batter together gently with a butter knife or chopstick.
- Place a large piece of foil over the pan to prevent top from getting too dark. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out slightly moist but not wet. Allow to cool completely and place in the fridge for 1 hour for cheesecake layer to set.
