1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
2 tablespoons light corn syrup

Tips:

  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help to ensure a smooth and even cheesecake swirl.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough brownies.
  • Be careful not to overbake the brownies. Overbaking can make them dry and crumbly.
  • For a gooey center, remove the brownies from the oven when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
  • Serve the brownies with your favorite toppings, such as ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh cherries.
