These bars are equal parts brownie and cheesecake and we are HERE. FOR. THEM. To make things super easy on yourself, start with brownie mix. (See our favorited boxed mix here.) You need to make your own blackberry jam though. It'll be much easier to work with than the jarred stuff to achieve those perfect swirls.

Ingredients
For the blackberry sauce
Cooking spray
- 1
(6-oz.) package fresh blackberries
- 2 Tbsp.
granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp.
water
Juice of 1/2 lemon
For the brownies + cheesecake
- 1
box brownie mix, plus ingredients called for on box
- 2
(8-oz.) blocks cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup
granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup
sour cream
- 2
large eggs
- 2 tsp.
pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 9”-x-13” baking pan with parchment and lightly grease with cooking spray. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine blackberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until blackberries are broken down, 8 to 10 minutes. Strain seeds through a fine mesh strainer over a heat-proof bowl and let cool slightly.
- Step 2Prepare brownie batter according to package directions and pour into prepared pan.
- Step 3Make cheesecake mixture: In a medium bowl using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, and a pinch of salt and beat until well combined.
- Step 4Pour cheesecake mixture over brownie batter and smooth with a rubber spatula into an even layer. Spoon blackberry sauce all over cheesecake mixture and swirl with a toothpick or knife, careful only to swirl into cheesecake layer.
- Step 5Bake until edges are set and center of cheesecake mixture is only slightly jiggly, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Step 6Let cheesecake brownies cool in pan, then slice and serve.
