You would expect that something so divine as these Cheesecake Swirled Pumpkin Brownies would need much more attention when preparing.

But in this case it really is mix one batch, mix the other, into the baking dish, swirl and bake.

There is no fuss, no nonsense, except you need to let the Pumpkin brownies cool completely before slicing into servings.

We do not have canned Pumpkin (besides soup that I know of) in South-Africa. Therefore I always use fresh pumpkin, cooked soft, but not watery, well drained and then I blitz a batch or three in the blender.

I would normally cook extra pumpkin separately, when we have some with our dinner, maybe in a stew or as a side, and keep the extra to blend for sweet treats the following day.

These Pumpkin Brownies are really outstanding, and tastes absolutely heavenly.

The two layers blend together so well, but you get a taste from both, cheesecake and pumpkin brownie all in one bite.

I thought whipped cream might be needed. But after tasting a tiny piece, I decided no cream and served the brownies on it’s own and my family loved them.

Even the not-so-fond of pumpkin in a dessert !

I made these this morning, just a word of advice: make sure to swirl the cheesecake layer along the sides of the brownie dish, because the pumpkin layers rises up and pushes all the cheesecake to the center of the dish. it does use quite a lot of sugar, I only used half a cup of light brown sugar (instead of the full cup). I also made the pumpkin puree by steaming it the night before, mashing it with a fork and them working it through a sieve with a silicone spatula. comes out SUPER SMOOTH!

are these brownies more "cakey" or chewy and firm?

Renee, I'd say more cakey than the usual brownie, but definitely more chewy than cake and when cut, the brownies are firm (once cooled completely)

Laura, to be honest I have never made brownies or cheesecake without some kind of sugar. I googled around a bit and found this article which I think you'll find helpful : http://www.finecooking.com/articles/how-sugar-affects-baking.aspx
