Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can Cooking Spray
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 3 oz. Chocolate (60% cacao)
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 tsp Espresso Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 8 oz. Cream Cheese
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1/2 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree
  • 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a baking pan with cooking spray.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter and chopped chocolate together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.
  3. Whisk together granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and room temperature eggs in a medium bowl until well combined. Fold in the melted chocolate mixture until smooth.
  4. Fold in all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder gradually, mixing just until combined.
  5. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan using a spatula.
  6. Beat the room temperature cream cheese in another bowl until smooth. Add in the canned pumpkin puree, large egg, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy.
  7. Layer the pumpkin cheesecake mixture on top of the brownie batter in the pan. Swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-55 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  9. Cool the brownies at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then slice into squares.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • These brownies taste better the next day as the flavors meld.
