Strawberry Cheesecake Brownies
Strawberry cheesecake brownies bring fudgy pink bars topped with silky cream cheese frosting and a crunchy strawberry cookie crumble. They taste like a soda-fountain throwback with the easy charm of a boxed-mix hack. Slice them small, watch them vanish fast, and save a corner piece for yourself.
Ingredients
Cream Cheese Frosting
Cookie Crumble
Instructions
Brownie Base
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Step 2
Grease an 8"x8" baking dish with cooking spray or line with parchment paper and set aside.
- Step 3
Using a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the strawberry cake mix, eggs, 2 Tablespoons of strawberry jello mix, and ½ cup of melted butter. Make sure there aren't any clumps left.
- Step 4
Scoop the batter into the prepared baking dish. Use a rubber spatula or clean hands to flatten and spread the batter evenly.
- Step 5
Bake at 350℉ for 25 minutes.
- Step 6
Let the brownies cool completely before frosting.
- Step 7
Once the brownies are cooled completely, slice sideways to make the top even. If your brownies come out flat, ignore this step.
Cream Cheese Frosting
- Step 8
Add cream cheese, vanilla, and ¼ cup of butter to a medium bowl and beat with a hand mixer until combined.
- Step 9
Add the powdered sugar and heavy cream and beat until it's a fluffy and smooth mixture.
- Step 10
Scoop the frosting onto the cooled cake and spread it evenly.
Cookie Crumble
- Step 11
Add the golden Oreos to a food processor and pulse until you get crumbs with some big chunks.
- Step 12
Add the crumbs to a large zip top bag and add the 4 Tablespoons of melted butter and the 4 Tablespoons of strawberry jello powder. Zip it up and shake it around until everything is completely coated.
- Step 13
Sprinkle the Oreo mixture over the top of the frosting and lightly pat it to make sure it sticks in place.
