- Carefully fold in the crushed Oreo cookies until well distributed.
- Spread the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer in the pan, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Drop spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake layer, using a knife to swirl it gently, creating a marbled effect.
- Finish by sprinkling additional crushed Oreo cookies on top of the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing them into squares and serving.
Notes
These brownies are delicious on their own, but can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
