Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 170 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 3 Eggs (large)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 95 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 225 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 50 grams Granulated sugar (for cheesecake layer)
- 1 Egg (large, for cheesecake layer)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for cheesecake layer)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. Let cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar, followed by the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold gently until a thick, smooth batter forms. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract for the cheesecake layer until combined.
Spread 3/4 of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter and spread gently to cover.
Drop spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake layer and use a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect by swirling the layers together.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into squares and serve.
