Making Blackberry Cheesecake Brownies is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Prepare the Brownie Batter:
– In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
– Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined.
– Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
– Stir in the vanilla extract.
– In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
– Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined. Set aside.

3. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
– In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
– Add the sugar and mix until well incorporated.
– Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble the Layers:
– Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
– Carefully spoon the cheesecake mixture on top of the brownie layer, spreading it evenly.
– Drop the blackberries evenly over the cheesecake layer, gently pressing them in.

5. Bake the Brownies:
– Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.

6. Cool the Brownies:
– Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. Cut and Serve:
– Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
