If you are a fan of neapolitan, then you will love this next recipe. These brownies are not your typical brownies, they are cheesecakes brownies. These are flavored strawberry, chocolate (from the brownie mix) and cream cheese for the white. You can either make these just look like neapolitan with food coloring or taste like it with the strawberry preserves (I love making them this way). Enjoy!
