Ingredients

• 120 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams dark chocolate (finely chopped or chips)
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 100 grams all-purpose flour
• 20 grams cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 225 grams cream cheese (softened)
• 50 grams powdered sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake layer)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate together until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk the granulated sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until just combined and set the brownie batter aside.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.

Step 6

Pour about two-thirds of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out into an even layer. Dollop the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer in several spoonfuls. Add the remaining brownie batter in spoonfuls between the cheesecake mixture.

Step 7

Using a butter knife or skewer, gently swirl the brownie and cheesecake layers together to create a marbled effect. Do not overmix.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. The center should be just set.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift the brownies out using the parchment overhang and slice into 9 squares.

Step 10

Serve at room temperature or chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
