Who doesn’t like cheesecake?  who doesn’t like pumpkin?  and who doesn’t LOVEE brownies?  gosh after I made these brownies I couldn’t stop munching them.
I know it’s pumpkin season is almost over but this came just in time for the holidays. I made a batch and gave some to my neighbors and it just felt so good sharing something that people don’t usually eat. This is the kind of recipe that’s nice for holiday gatherings because its traditional with a twist.
There are a few things that make these brownies extra special:
  • I sautéed the cane pumpkin on the stove for about 8 minutes. sautéing it makes it a bit darker and gives it a really nice rich flavor.
  • I added lots and I mean lots of chocolate to the brownies to give them that extra softness because the top layer is really soft and we want it to melt in your mouth when you bit into it.
  • I added a teaspoon of may noise to the brownie mixture. I know that might sound a little gross but it’s not. You won’t taste it and it really makes a big difference in the moisture of the brownies.

Seriously. This is like heaven. You taste the cheesecake and the pumpkin and than the kick of chocolate comes in. Ugh… just yummy.
If you’r lazy like me and don’t want to make the brownie mixture use brownie mix for the brownies and just top that with the cheesecake batter.
