Ingredients:
Brownie Layer:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
Cheesecake Layer:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
Make the Brownie Batter: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt, mixing until just combined. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, reserving about 1/4 cup of the batter for swirling.
Make the Cheesecake Layer: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Brownies: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer, spreading it evenly. Drop small spoonfuls of the reserved brownie batter onto the cheesecake layer. Using a toothpick or knife, gently swirl the brownie batter through the cheesecake layer to create a marbled effect.
Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting.
Serve and Enjoy: Slice into squares and enjoy the perfect blend of creamy cheesecake and rich chocolate brownie in every bite.
These cheesecake brownies combine the best of both desserts—fudgy, rich chocolate with smooth, tangy cheesecake! 🍫🍰
