Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces brownie mix (preferably low-calorie/light version)
- 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cups water
- 3 large egg whites
- 8 ounces fat-free cream cheese
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar substitute (like Stevia or Splenda)
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, unsweetened applesauce, water, and 2 egg whites. Stir until the batter is well blended and set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and the remaining egg white until smooth and creamy. This will form the cheesecake layer.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter. Using a butter knife or skewer, carefully swirl the cream cheese mixture into the brownie batter to create a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 equal squares.
Serve and enjoy your Hungry Girl Cheesecake Brownies!
