- Add in pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Mix well.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling on top of the brownie batter and carefully spread into a thin layer.
- Spoon the remaining brownie batter over the top and drag the tip of a knife through the batter to create a swirl pattern.

- Let cool completely in pan. Use the parchment paper overhang to pull the brownies out.
- Cut into squares and ENJOY!
