- 70 g regular white sugar
- 35 g flour
- 220 g pumpkin puree room temp
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp cardamom
Instructions
Brownie layer
- Preheat the oven to 175°C. Prepare a 20 x 20 cm baking tray with baking paper.
- In a bowl, mix with an egg whisker melted butter and sugar. Whisk until creamy for 2 minutes.
- Add eggs and whisk for about 3 minutes until the batter gets fluffy. You will see the difference after 1 minute. Keep on whisking!
- In another bowl mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Pour the ingredients into the brownie batter. It will take some time, but work the brownie batter until the flour disappears.
Pumpkin Cheesecake Layer
- In a clean bowl, cream the mascarpone until it's smooth and creamy. You can do it with a rubber spatula. Add pumpkin puree and give it a good mix with a rubber spatula.
- Add sugar and mix again. Add an egg, and vanilla extract and whisk all ingredients in until well combined.
- Add flour, and spices and give it a good stir until the flour disappears.
Oreo Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies
- Pour ⅔ of the brownie batter into a baking tray. Ensure the baking paper is well attached to the bottom of the baking tray so it doesn't move.
- Put the Oreo cookies next to each other on top of the brownie batter. Don't push them in. Pour the pumpkin cheesecake mixture over them. Add remaining brownie batter over pumpkin cheesecake batter by spoonfuls. Swirl the batters together by running a butter knife or a skewer back and forth through the pan - be careful, DO NOT go under the layer of Oreo cookies! Crash some Oreo cookies and sprinkle some on top.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes (I baked for 48 minutes). The center of the Oreo pumpkin cheesecake brownies should be set, or take it out of the oven when the cheesecake layer starts to get a little too brown.
- I recommend taking it out of the baking tray after 20 minutes. Let the brownie cool completely before cutting it.
