Ghost Cheesecake Brownies combine fudgy brownies with a creamy cheesecake topping shaped like adorable little ghosts. Perfect for Halloween parties, bake sales, or a spooky family dessert night, these brownies are festive, fun, and delicious.

Ingredients

1 box fudge brownie mix

3 eggs

1/4 cup water

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 egg (for cheesecake batter)

1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract

2 teaspoons all-purpose flour

1/3 cup granulated sugar

Mini chocolate chips or chocolate chips for ghost faces

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare brownie mix according to package instructions, substituting melted butter for oil. Stir in eggs and water until smooth, then pour into prepared pan.
  3. Beat cream cheese, egg, vanilla, flour, and sugar until smooth for the cheesecake batter.
  4. Transfer cheesecake batter to a piping bag or plastic bag with a small corner snipped off. Pipe ghost shapes onto brownie batter.
  5. Use mini or regular chocolate chips to make eyes and mouths on the cheesecake ghosts.
  6. Bake 30–35 minutes, until brownies are set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  7. Cool completely before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

Use dark chocolate brownie mix for richer flavor.

Add orange food coloring to cheesecake batter for a pumpkin effect.

Swap chocolate chips for candy eyes for a fun ghost look.

Drizzle melted white chocolate over cooled brownies for extra decoration.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; can also freeze for up to 2 months.
