Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 oz Unsweetened chocolate
- 0.75 cup Butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 4 Eggs
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 packages (8 oz each) Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for cheesecake layer)
- 0.5 tsp Vanilla extract (for cheesecake layer)
- 1 Egg (for cheesecake layer)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter together in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once melted, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Stir 2 cups of granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
Add the 4 eggs to the chocolate mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour until the batter is smooth and fully incorporated.
Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan, saving about 1/2 cup of the batter for swirling on the top later.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Add 1 egg to the cream cheese mixture and beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the brownie batter in the pan, spreading it gently with a spatula to create an even layer.
Drop spoonfuls of the reserved brownie batter onto the cheesecake layer. Using a knife or skewer, swirl the brownie batter into the cheesecake layer to create a marbled effect.
Bake the Philadelphia Brownie Cheesecake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is just set.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the dessert to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight for best results.
Cut into 16 squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your rich and creamy Philadelphia Brownie Cheesecake!
