Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 170 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 95 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 225 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 50 grams Granulated sugar (for cheesecake layer)
- 1 pieces Large egg (for cheesecake layer)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for cheesecake layer)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy brownie removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and semisweet chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Whisk granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until mixed, being careful not to overmix.
Pour about three-quarters of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy to create the cheesecake layer.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the brownie batter already in the pan.
Dollop the remaining brownie batter on top of the cheesecake layer. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the brownie batter and cream cheese mixture together, creating a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 16 squares and serve.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
