LEMON CHEESECAKE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and line with a strip of parchment paper.
• Using a rubber spatula, mix together the brownie mix, vegetable oil, egg and 1/3 cup water in a medium bowl until just combined. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mascarpone, sugar and lemon zest. Pour half the brownie batter in the bottom of the prepared dish and spread evenly. Dollop half of the cheesecake mixture on top and swirl in. Continue with the remaining brownie batter and cheesecake mix.
• Bake until the brownie just barely jiggles and only a few crumbs come out on a toothpick inserted in the center, 55 minutes to 1 hour. Cool completely before refrigerating. Serve chilled.

LEMON CREAM CHEESE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Mix 1st layer ingredients and pour into a greased or sprayed 9x13 cake pan and set aside.
• Next, mix 2nd layer ingredients and spoon gently over the 1st layer until its covered (this layer can be piped on using a icing bag, I find its easier than spreading).
• Last, using a butter knife, cut into the layers as if you were swirling it to mix it, so that some of the 2nd layer goes close to the bottom of the pan. (I make several "S" shaped strokes).
• Bake Brownies for 35 minutes and turn off the oven, but leave Brownies in the oven for 10 minutes more.
• Remove from the oven and let Brownies cool completely!
• Slice and enjoy.
• These Brownies can be refrigerated for up to a week.
