Ingredients

• 115 grams Unsalted butter
• 170 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 95 grams All-purpose flour
• 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 225 grams Cream cheese, softened
• 50 grams Granulated sugar (for cream cheese filling)
• 1 pieces Large egg (for cream cheese filling)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for cream cheese filling)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture. 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. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Set aside about 1/2 cup of the brownie batter for later use.

Step 5

Pour the remaining brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and 50 grams of granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

Step 7

Dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter in the pan. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the cream cheese mixture into the brownie batter, creating a marbled effect.

Step 8

Take the reserved 1/2 cup of brownie batter and drizzle it over the top, swirling again lightly if desired.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to ensure fudgy brownies.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 16 squares and serve.
