CHERRY CHEESECAKE BROWNIES

I am so excited to be an ambassador this year for Lucky Leaf pie filling! I love working with companies that I love and that I am passionate about their product. Lucky Leaf is a high quality and easy to use dessert product. I love thinking of delicious recipes to create with their premium pie filling. It really is the best! It has no high fructose corn syrup and has more fruit inside and a lot of different flavors to chose from. It is very convenient and versatile and a high quality product to use to simplify your baking.

Now that we have kids and don’t live in the city anymore, we don’t eat nearly as much cheesecake. It’s pretty sad, but luckily there are quite a few treats that are coming out of this kitchen these days.

Layers of brownie, cheesecake, and cherry pie filling make these Cherry Cheesecake Brownies a pretty dessert for celebrating any event. Or just make them for an unexpected after dinner dessert and make everyone smile.

Guys, these brownies are epic. I mean come on . . . three layers of decadence all packed into one treat. You just can’t go wrong. Every single bite is scrumptious!

Spread brownie mix into the bottom of your 13×9 inch prepared pan. Drop Cheesecake mixture on top followed by the Lucky Leaf Cherry Pie filling. Run a knife through the top giving it the marbled look.
