We remixed the best boxed brownies for an epic treat. These Cheesecake Oreo Brownies are absolutely addicting. Why? Because they’re super moist, chewy, chocolatey, and topped off with a rich cream cheese swirl. Plus the Oreo crunch? It’s every oreo-lover’s dream. Don’t believe us? Try them for yourself.

Boxed Brownies!

I don’t care what anyone says…boxed brownies are unmatched. They’re super easy, perfectly made, and the flavors are absolutely out of this world.

The most important part of this recipe is the boxed mix. Follow the instructions to the T according to your pan size. We made this recipe with a 9×9 square pan, making our bake time was for 30-35 minutes. If you insert a toothpick and a bit of chocolate batter comes out, that’s PERFECT. Your brownies are done & you’ll have that gooey goodness that we all love!

Cheesecake Brownie Lovin’

I kid you not, I wasn’t a fan of cheesecake growing up–and I’m still not a fan. But every once in a while, a tasty swirl satiates my sweet tooth! These brownies are elevated to a whole other level of goodness with this swirl. Add all the ingredients in a bowl and beat it on medium speed until everything is combined, and the mixture is slightly frothy. Spread out 1/2 of the brownie batter and dollop the cream cheese throughout the pan. Lastly, use a knife to swirl around the batter and add some Oreos to top it off!

Key Ingredients:

  • Pillsbury Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix: The best brownie mix on the planet (well…maybe it ties with Betty Crocker). We used a 9×9 pan and baked ours for 30-35 minutes.
  • Oil: Use 2/3 cup of any neutral oil for these brownies. Some of our favorites are vegetable, coconut, and canola.
  • Eggs: You’ll need 3 eggs for this recipe. 2 for the brownie mix, and the last for the cheesecake swirl mix. It’s important to keep these eggs room temperature!
  • Oreos: The BEST baking ingredient. This chocolatey snack is perfect on it’s own, but with Fun fact: Oreos are Vegan!
  • Cream Cheese: The heart of cheesecake! Any plain cream cheese (room temperature) works perfectly! Substitute dairy free cream cheese!
