Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 170 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 95 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 225 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 80 grams Chocolate hazelnut spread
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3
Once the chocolate mixture is cool, whisk in the granulated sugar until combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Pour about three-quarters of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, reserving the remaining batter for later.
Step 6
In another mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and chocolate hazelnut spread until smooth. Add in the milk and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 7
Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter in the pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, but don’t worry about perfection.
Step 8
Drop spoonfuls of the reserved brownie batter over the cheesecake layer. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the brownie and cheesecake layers together, creating a marbled effect.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but no wet batter).
Step 10
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan, then transfer them to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving to let the layers set fully.
Step 11
Cut into squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
