Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

Directions

Follow these easy steps for a slice of heaven:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with greased aluminum foil and set it aside.
2. Make the blondie layer: In a bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, salt, and baking soda. In another bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until fluffy, then add the beaten eggs and vanilla. Gradually combine the dry ingredients.
3. Make the cheesecake layer: Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the granulated sugar, remaining vanilla, and kosher salt. Finally, add in the beaten egg.
4. Assemble and bake: Spread half of the blondie batter in the pan, dollop the cheesecake mixture on top, and finish with the remaining blondie batter. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until set.

How to Make Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Blondies (Overview)

Making these decadent blondies is almost too easy! Start by preheating your oven while you mix the blondie batter. Remember to cream the butter and sugar well – that’s where the magic happens. Pour in the cheesecake layer, and don’t be shy about dolloping it on – it adds to the fun. Once everything’s layered up, sprinkle those heavenly chocolate chips on top, and pop it in the oven. Pro tip: Keep an eye on it after the 30-minute mark so it doesn’t overbake!

How to Serve Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Blondies

Serve these blondies warm for that extra ooey-gooey feel. Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat that will have your taste buds singing. And just imagine that rich aroma wafting through your kitchen! Not in the mood for ice cream? A dusting of powdered sugar also adds a lovely touch, giving your blondies that elegant finish.

How to Store Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Blondies

These beauties can last in the fridge for about 5 days – but let’s be real, they probably won’t last that long! For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. When you want to enjoy them again, simply thaw them in the fridge overnight or warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds.

Tips to Make Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Blondies

• Room temperature ingredients are key – they blend together beautifully!
• If you want to add a salted caramel drizzle, go for it! It elevates the flavor to a whole new level.
• Want a richer taste? Try swapping out some of the granulated sugar for brown sugar in the blondie layer.
• If you don’t have gluten-free flour, all-purpose works just fine!

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Try adding nuts or dried fruit to your blondie layer for an added crunch! Want to go vegan? Substitute with a plant-based cream cheese and flaxseed eggs, and you’ll have a delightful treat perfect for everyone.

FAQs

• Can I use regular flour instead of gluten-free? Absolutely! Just use all-purpose flour and skip the xanthan gum.
• What if I don’t have mini chocolate chips? Regular chocolate chips will work perfectly – just chop them a bit if they’re too large!
• Can I make these ahead of time? You bet! They taste even better the next day after letting the flavors meld together in the fridge.
