Double Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies
Are you team chocolate or team pumpkin? This is a debate we have often in my home. You? If you come to my house in the fall, you better have your armor on because you are entering a war zone.
When it comes to football, I am a UGA or Tennessee Vols fan, while he is a Wolverine fan through and through. The divide does not stop at football either. It carries over into our taste buds too.
The Best Of Both Worlds
I would rather poke my eye out than to live without chocolate. My husband could care less if he ever ate chocolate again! I am team chocolate and my husband and daughter are team pumpkin.
How do I make peace and wave the proverbial white flag? I make my Double Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies! We may be on opposing sides when it comes to football. When it comes to our sweet tooth, this recipe gives us the best of both worlds.
Perfectly Balanced Flavors
These Double Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies are so easy to make. The pumpkin and chocolate flavors are not screaming to compete with each other.
The flavors work super well together, so everyone is happy. They travel well, so they are the perfect tailgating dessert. This dessert goes perfectly with my Slow Cooker Chuck Roast Chili. Yum!!!
Make Plenty To Share
For her robotics team at school, Caitlin always signs me up to bring the dessert! They are meeting this coming weekend and guess what I am bringing?
Of course, I will make two batches so my husband and I can enjoy them as well. So, on the food front, I will raise my white flag, because I this recipe blurs the lines between the two teams. When it comes to football? GAME ON!!
Ingredients
- Pumpkin Cheesecake
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tbs. pumpkin pie spice
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 chocolate brownie mix
- 1 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
Instructions
- Cheesecake:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium-low until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the sugar and beat on medium speed until fluffy, a few minutes, scraping the bowl and paddle once or twice to make sure the mixture is completely smooth. Beat in the salt and spices until combined, then the egg and vanilla extract. Peel the paper towels off of the pumpkin puree and add it in, scraping the bowl and paddle again, until the mixture is well blended. Place the cheesecake batter in the refrigerator.
- Prepare brownies according to the package directions. Add 1 cup of chocolate chips. Spread into a well greased 8x8 baking dish. Add your pumpkin cheesecake mixture.
- Bake according to directions on brownie box. Brownies are done when toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool. Melt the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave with 1 tsp. vegetable oil. Mix well. Drizzle over your brownies. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Those sound absolutely delicious! I love cheesecake and brownies so putting them together is like a dream come true.
These look great! They look delicious! My issue would be with the double chocolate chips, I would be tempted to do quadruple!
I can’t even tell you how many of these I’m going to eat when I make them. Wait. Yes I can. All of them. I’m going to eat all of them.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I am going to have a very happy family this weekend.
I like pumpkin, but I’m on team chocolate with you! I don’t think I could live without it. These brownies look amazing. I love cheesecake brownies!
What a good idea for a brownie. I like the double layer, really creative. Pumpkin and chocolate yum! Perfect treats for fall.
YUM! These look amazing! I’ll admit, I was really hesitant about the pumpkin & chocolate combination up until last year, but after trying it once, I was hooked! It’s now one of my favorites. I’m going to have to make these!
These brownies look so yummy. I am always looking for new pumpkin recipes. Thanks for sharing.
I literally just made brownies and then made pumpkin pie bars. This is those combined! Delicious.
Oh my gosh, these look amazing. I love that they are a combination of two of my favorite desserts, cheesecake and brownies.
Goodness these look amazing! I am a fan of both chocolate and pumpkin, so I am so thankful I do not have to choose between the two when enjoying this delicious dessert.
We are definitely team chocolate in our household.
But these definitely good enough to give a try – thanks!
These brownies sound amazing!! I love the combination of pumpkin and chocolate together, perfect fall treat to bake.
What an awesome way to combine two amazing flavors! This would go over really well at our annual Halloween party. If I could keep my hands off them after baking that is 😉
OMG these Double Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies look amazing. I will have to make some for dessert this week. I am sure my family will love them.

I am always looking for new dessert recipes to try. I love pumpkin. I am excited to give these a try.
Those look amazing. I love brownies as well as cheesecake. The two of them together must taste great.
These look amazing! I adore cheesecake, any kind!
The amount of pumpkin recipes I have saved to try this fall is getting so long! I have not come across anything like this though – very cool idea.
Ok, I will start my updated healthy eating plan AFTER I make those. Oh my goodness, they look fantastic. All my favorite flavors in one bite.
These are just in time for Fall. I love cheesecake but this would be Fall heaven in my mouth!
How about team both? I am a firm believer that you can’t go wrong with pumpkin and chocolate. These sweet treats look amazing!
Oh wow! I need to make these brownies before pumpkin season is over! So yummy!
These look incredible. i’ve never had pumpkin before so adding pumpkin to my favorite sweet is a great idea. Perfect way to give them a try!
These look so yummy! I’m more team chocolate, but I have lots of pumpkin fans in my house.
How did I not think of these first? CHeesecake with a brownie crust? Sounds perfect to me.
Wow, this really looks so nice. We will try this soon, very interesting combination.
I am definitely team chocolate, however I do love to dabble in pumpkin a little in the fall. I love brownies and my husband loves cheesecake, so id say this dessert will be a win in this house!
I think I can find a way to veganify these. They sound good!
I am with you about chocolate. My family does not care for pumpkin too much. I will save the recipe for the occasion when I need some with pumpkin
I have been requested to make this after I showed it to my son. So I will be trying it very soon. I am not a fan of pumpkin so I hope it turns out so that I will eat some too.
I made this and everyone loved it. It is very rich so we won’t have it that often but it is good.
