Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Fudgy, minty, chocolaty, and fluffy Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake swirl brownies will make for an ideal St. Patrick's Day treat or a Christmas dessert.

Hey Peeps! After you guys loved my Mint Chocolate Chip Fudges, Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls,  Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies and Mint Chocolate Chip Muffins, I was really excited to share with y'all this delicious Mint Chocolate Chip Brownies recipe. What I want in my brownies (especially - swirl brownies) is that the swirls come clean and they look pretty. Hence, it was quite hard to get that the first time. I had to try it six times to get here. (I am a slow learner). 

Let's Bake some fudgy Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Swirl Brownies from scratch

To make a rich, fudgy, chocolaty Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Swirl Brownies these are your prime ingredients.

Dark chocolate + Cocoa Flour: You can easily replace this with cocoa powder. But, I preferred a mix of both, since I like my brownies a bit more chocolaty.

Brown Sugar + Granulated Sugar: I really enjoy combining brown sugar along with granulated sugar. It makes my brownies a little less cakey. Brown sugar adds moisture to the brownies making them a lot fudgier.

Less Flour: I have to thank, Sally from Sallys Baking Addiction for teaching me through her blogs that less flour makes the brownie less cakey and fudgier. She was right! You cannot go all abord with flour. Go slow, go less! We have used cake flour to make brownies.

Melted Butter: When I say, melted butter, I mean Melted Butter. I melted my butter over a double-broiler and then cooled it to room temperature before using it in my brownie mix. Melted butter makes the brownie chewier and fudgier.

Troubleshooting Tips for Fudgy Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Swirl Brownies

Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Swirl Brownies
  • Less Flour: I am repeating this that you need less flour for your brownie. It doesn't have to be like a cake. It's a brownie. You want it to be rich, thick, chocolaty and chewy.
  • Peppermint Extract: Go easy with the peppermint extract as well as the green food coloring. Only add more peppermint extract, after you've tasted your brownie batter. Too much peppermint will spoil your brownie.
  • Take Care of the Batter: The Brownie batter should not be runny or thin. It should be thick. You'll have to take a spoon and add dollops of batter onto your plate.

How to make the Cheesecake Swirl frosting for the Brownie

To make the cheesecake swirl I have used 8 oz of softened Cream cheese along with 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract, 1 teaspoon green food coloring, one egg yolk, and 1/8 cup sugar. I have whisked it at medium speed for just 2 minutes.

How to get the perfect Swirl for your Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Swirl brownies

Making the swirls is really easy. But, I will teach you how to get it perfect. The idea is to add dollops of green cheesecake frosting over your brownies. Then take your knife and spread it evenly all over the brownie. Now take the remaining brownie batter and pour it over your brownie mix. Finally, just use a knife and go up and down horizontally over the brownies. Then repeat the same vertically. And, you'll see gorgeous swirl formation all over your brownie.

Now, let's check out the detailed step by step recipe below.
