Why this pairing works
Chocolate, strawberry and cream cheese are a classic trio. Lavender Sugar in the cheesecake swirl adds a floral note that ties it to the lavender in the brownies.
Makes 16 squares Prep 15 min Cook 35 min
Ingredients
- 1 bag Lavender Fudge Brownie Mix, plus the ingredients listed on the package
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 Tbsp Lavender Sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam, stirred smooth
Directions
- Heat the oven and prepare the pan and brownie batter according to the package directions. Spread the batter in the pan.
- Beat the cream cheese, Lavender Sugar, egg yolk and vanilla until smooth.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture and small dollops of jam over the batter.
- Drag a butter knife through in loops to marble. Don't overdo it; a few swirls look best.
- Bake as directed, adding 5 to 8 minutes if needed, until the cheesecake is set and a toothpick in a brownie spot shows moist crumbs. Cool, then chill 1 hour before cutting.
