Ingredients

• 115 g Unsalted butter
• 170 g Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 200 g Granulated sugar
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 95 g All-purpose flour
• 30 g Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 225 g Cream cheese
• 65 g Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Whisk 150g of granulated sugar into the chocolate mixture, followed by 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Continue whisking until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated. Set aside.

Step 5

In another medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, 50g granulated sugar, 2 eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and creamy.

Step 6

Pour 2/3 of the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Dollop the cheesecake mixture on top and then add the remaining brownie batter in spoonfuls.

Step 7

Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the brownie and cheesecake mixtures together to create a marbled effect.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Allow the cheesecake brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper and slicing into squares. Enjoy!
