Ingredients

• 150 grams Unsalted butter
• 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 3 whole Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 30 grams Cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 225 grams Cream cheese
• 50 grams Granulated sugar (for cheesecake layer)
• 1 whole Large egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for cheesecake layer)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and the 3 eggs. Stir in the 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the sugar and eggs, stirring until fully combined and smooth.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add 50 grams of sugar, 1 egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, beating until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter. Use a knife or a skewer to swirl the cream cheese mixture into the brownie batter, creating a marbled effect.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Allow the cheesecake brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, use the parchment paper overhang to lift and remove the brownies from the pan. Cut into 16 squares and serve.
