Step 2
Melt butter in the microwave, about 1 minute. Stir in sugar and cocoa powder. Blend in eggs one at a time using an electric mixer; add vanilla extract. Combine flour (see Cook's Note), baking powder, and salt in a small bowl and add to batter. Mix until well combined and pour into the prepared baking pan. Level with a knife or spatula.
Step 3
Beat together cream cheese, sugar and 1 egg in a second bowl until smooth. Dollop the cream cheese mixture on top of the brownie batter.
Step 4
Separate cherries from the the jelled filling and dollop them over the cream cheese mixture, saving leftover jelly for another use if desired. Swirl together using a knife.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until brownies are set and edges pull away from the sides of the pan, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and cool thoroughly before cutting into bars.

Cook's Note:

These can be made with regular all-purpose flour instead of gluten-free flour. The baking time may need to be adjusted slightly.

No I did not make any changes. It is for dessert after dinner. Don't see any reason why they wouldn't be great. Yes, I would make again.

The baking time is way off, I added another 15 minutes onto 40 minutes and the centre was still not cooked when I checked with a toothpick. Not sure if I will make again.

Baking time is way off. After adding an additional 20 minutes or so, it ended up like molten cake- very gooey in the center, crisp exterior.

The recipe is good. I tried exactly what was given and made a very good brownie.

Co-workers and family all loved these. The only changes I made was that I used a box brownie mix due to time constraints and when using the cherry pie mix I used the cherries and the filling. Yes, they came out really gooey in the middle but that's what everyone loved about them! Kind of like a lava cake. I have had several people ask for the recipe and one request to bring them to the next work event. Yes, this one is a keeper!

First of all, I cooked it for an extra 15 minutes because I did not use gluten free flour. This recipe was...disappointing. It wasn't all I thought it would be. Overall, it was kind of bland. It's not bad, it's just not as good as I was hoping it would be. The cherry cheesecake part might be good with a different brownie recipe, though.

A couple notes. 1) There's a lot more of the cheesecake topping than I expected, and it covered more of the top than the promo pictures show. 2) Don't get rid of all the jelly stuff from the cherry pie filling. Use some of it on the brownies. 3) I needed to bake this for about an hour rather than the 35-45 minutes stated in the recipe.

Wow! All I can say is Super Yummy! Had to bake for one hour and they turned out even better than I imagined. I’ll definitely be making these lots more.
