Ingredients

  • 4 ounces unsalted butter 8 tablespoons
  • 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup all purpose flour
  • 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
  • cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper and then spray with baking spray. Set aside.

For the Brownies:

  • Melt the butter and chocolate in a small saucepan over medium low heat, constantly stirring until completely melted. Remove from the heat and whisk in the sugar, eggs and vanilla. Add the flour and carefully combine. Transfer to the parchment lined baking pan and set aside.

For the Cheesecake:

  • In a food processor, combine the cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla and whip together until there are no lumps.
  • Using a spoon, drop pieces of the cheesecake batter on top of the brownie batter. Then using a knife, swirl the two batters together until you have a marbled effect.
  • Sprinkle with the chocolate chips.
  • Transfer baking dish to the oven and bake for 30-33 minutes.
  • Once baked, remove from oven and let cool for at least 2 hours. (Refrigerate to speed this process up if needed.)

Notes

Line your pan with parchment, leaving an overhang. This will help you pull the entire pan out for easy slicing. Make sure to chill completely first!
