Cranberry Cheesecake Brownies

Cranberry Cheesecake Brownies Recipe type: Brownies & Bars Serves: 8-12 Ingredients ⅔ cup flour 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder ⅛ teaspoon salt 1 stick of unsalted butter ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks ⅔ cup white sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla ⅔ cup white chocolate chips 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 1 egg yolk 5 tablespoons sugar ¼ teaspoon vanilla ⅔ cup leftover cranberry sauce Instructions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8×8 or 9×9 pan with foil. Grease well. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. Melt together the semi-sweet chocolate and the stick of butter. You can do this in the microwave or on the stove top. Heat until smooth. Using a hand mixer, beat in the ⅔ cup white sugar and the 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in eggs one at a time. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until incorporated. Fold in the white chocolate chips. Press into pan. Beat together the cream cheese, egg yolk, 5 tablespoons sugar, and the vanilla together until smooth and creamy. Drop dollops of cream cheese mixture over the brownie mixture. Then, add spoonfuls of cranberry sauce over the cream cheese (if your cranberry sauce is too jellified, mash with a fork before using). Swirl it all together with a butter knife. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until middle is just set. Cool. Lift out of pan, cut, and serve.
