why make this recipe

Ghost Cheesecake Brownies are a fun and delicious treat that combines rich chocolate brownies with creamy cheesecake. Perfect for Halloween, they not only taste amazing, but they also look great.

how to make Ghost Cheesecake Brownies

Ingredients:

3 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 large egg white
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Gather all ingredients.
Grease an 8×8 baking dish and line it with parchment paper.
Place chopped chocolate into a heatproof bowl. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat and pour it over the chocolate. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the chocolate starts to melt.
Mix well until the chocolate has completely melted.
In a bowl, combine eggs and granulated sugar and mix with an electric mixer on high speed until light and pale yellow in color.
Add vanilla extract and salt to the egg mixture, and continue mixing on high for 1 minute.
Transfer this mixture into the chocolate-butter mixture and blend until well combined for about 30 seconds.
Fold in flour with a spatula until the flour disappears.
Set aside 2 teaspoons of brownie batter.
Transfer the remaining batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Smooth out the top with a spatula.
For the cheesecake ghosts, combine softened cream cheese, white sugar, egg white, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Whisk until well combined.
Set 9 tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture on top of the brownie batter in an even pattern.
Use a spoon and a bamboo skewer to spread the cheesecake dollops into ghost-like shapes.
Transfer the reserved brownie batter into a small plastic bag, snip off one corner, and pipe 2 eyes and a mouth onto each cheesecake ghost.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bake brownies in the center of the oven until edges are lightly golden brown and the center is just set, about 35 to 40 minutes.
Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before transferring them to a plate and cutting them into squares. Serve and enjoy!

variation (if any)

You can add chocolate chips to the brownie batter for an extra chocolaty flavor. For a seasonal twist, consider folding in some pumpkin puree into the cheesecake mixture for pumpkin spice ghosts.
