More About This Recipe

  • Add a punch of color to your dessert table with a plate full of these brightly colored pink blondies topped with swirls of creamy cheesecake. They look as sweet as they taste and would be perfect for a baby shower, Valentine's Day a girl's birthday party, or a breast cancer awareness event. The pink blondies are simple to make using a Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Cake Mix. You can make a traditionally flavored blondie by using a white cake mix, but if you want to punch up the flavor a bit, you can use a strawberry cake mix instead.

Ingredients

  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ White Cake Mix
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Gather your ingredients, and preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Step 
    2
    Line a 9x13-inch pan with non-stick tin foil or with parchment paper and spray with baking spray. Combine cake mix, melted butter, egg, chocolate extract, 2 tablespoons milk and pink food coloring in a mixing bowl. Stir until combined.
  • Step 
    3
    Reserve 1/2 cup of batter, then pour the rest into prepared pan.

    Spread batter in a thin layer in bottom of pan. Stir the remaining 2 tablespoons milk into reserved batter, thinning it out.

    Stir together cream cheese and sugar (or pulse in a food processor). Add egg and vanilla extract and stir until smooth. Pour cheesecake filling over the brownie batter.
