Ingredients
For the Brownie Batter
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips
For the Cheesecake Swirl
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg yolk
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
- In another bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Spread half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Dollop the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter and swirl gently with a knife or skewer.
- Spoon the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake layer and swirl again gently.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
For an extra rich flavor, you can add a pinch of espresso powder to the brownie batter. Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth cheesecake swirl.
