Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients, stirring until just incorporated. If using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top to ensure an even layer.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add the egg and flour, and beat until well combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture on top of the brownie batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the cheesecake mixture into the brownie batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.
Notes
- For a fruity twist, mix in some raspberry or strawberry preserves into the cheesecake layer.
- If you prefer individual servings, bake the brownies in a muffin tin for perfectly portioned, bite-sized treats.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
- For longer storage, freeze the brownies for up to 3 months.
