Soften Philadelphia Cream Cheese before mixing.
- Leave it on the counter top for half an hour in its original container. It should noticeably soften once it reaches room temperature. After 30 minutes, open the packaging and check the texture. If the cream cheese still feels cool to the touch and isn’t soft enough, let it sit another 20-30 minutes
- To soften in microwave place unwrapped (8 oz.) pkg microwavable bowl. Microwave on High 15 seconds for each additional package.
Cool cheesecake at room temperature for 1 hr before refrigerating.
Store
- These cheesecake brownies can be kept at room temperature for a day, but they should be stashed in the fridge or freezer. Wrap them tightly so they don’t dry out. They’ll keep for about a week in the fridge; a month or two in the freezer.
