Ingredients

• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams semisweet chocolate chips
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 95 grams all-purpose flour
• 20 grams cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 225 grams cream cheese (softened)
• 50 grams powdered sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake layer)
• 180 milliliters caramel sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semisweet chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk in the granulated sugar to the melted chocolate mixture. Then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 4

Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, followed by the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Pour two-thirds of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Reserve the remaining batter for later.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Add the egg yolk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until incorporated.

Step 7

Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the brownie layer in the pan.

Step 8

Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the cheesecake layer, gently spreading it out with a knife or spatula.

Step 9

Drop spoonfuls of the reserved brownie batter over the caramel cheesecake layer and gently swirl it with a knife to create a marbled pattern.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Do not overbake; it will continue to set as it cools.

Step 11

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, drizzle the remaining caramel sauce on top for extra flavor.

Step 12

Refrigerate the brownies for at least 2 hours before slicing. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve chilled.
