Ingredients
Brownie Base:
1½ boxes brownie mix (or double your homemade recipe to yield 24 servings)
1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirl:
12 oz cream cheese, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
¾ tsp vanilla extract
1 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan.
Prepare brownie batter according to package instructions. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into pan, reserving about ¾ cup of batter for swirling.
In another bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice. Blend until creamy.
Pour pumpkin mixture over brownie base. Drop spoonfuls of reserved brownie batter on top and swirl with a knife.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until center is just set. Cool completely before slicing into 24 squares.
