Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and prepare a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in 15-30 second intervals, stirring frequently, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, 2 of the eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the sugar-egg mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a thick, smooth brownie batter forms.
Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
Add the remaining 2 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips into the cheesecake mixture.
Pour the cheesecake mixture on top of the brownie batter in the pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly when the pan is gently shaken.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Carefully run a knife around the edges of the pan to release the cheesecake. Remove it from the springform pan and slice into 12 pieces. Serve chilled and enjoy!
