- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the Nutella mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy. Spread this cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer.
- Top with the remaining brownie batter, and gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Scatter the halved cherries on top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let it cool completely before removing from the pan. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Brownie Cheesecake turns out perfectly:
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth cheesecake layer.
- Don’t overmix the brownie batter; it should be thick and fudgy.
- Feel free to substitute the cherries with your favorite fruit, like raspberries or strawberries!
- For an extra touch, drizzle some melted chocolate over the top before serving.

This Brownie Cheesecake de Nutella e Cereja is best served chilled. Slice it into generous pieces and serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
