Cherry Yogurt Cheesecake Brownies

*
*1 (18.3 ounce) box Fudge Brownie Mix, I used Betty Crocker-make brownie batter according to package directions and set aside.

*

Cream Cheese Cherry Topping

*

*1 (8 ounce) box Greek Cream Cheese, softened

*1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract

*1 large Egg, room temperature

*1/3 cup Sugar

*Pinch of Sea Salt

*3/4 cup pitted and quarter Fresh Dark Sweet Cherries, like Bing

*1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Chips, optional

*
In a medium mixing bowl using a hand mixer, slowly mix on low-speed the cream cheese, sugar and salt. Then add vanilla and egg. Beat together until smooth. Stir in cherries and chocolate chips

*
In a cooking sprayed and lined with parchment paper 8×8 square deep cake pan. Pour/scoop in brownie batter and spread until evenly distributed in pan. Then scoop/pour cream cheese mixture onto the top of brownie batter. Now, with a plastic knife run the knife in a continuous swirl across the top of the mixture just enough to make a swirl top design.

*
Bake in a 350*F. oven until toothpick comes out mostly clean, about 40-45 minutes. Cool and cut into 2 inch squares as desired.

Enjoy!
