Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Base
  • 1 cup unsalted butter Melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Cheesecake Swirl
  • 8 oz cream cheese Softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until well blended and creamy.
Baking
  1. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing it into an even layer.
  2. Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture on top, followed by the remaining brownie batter.
  3. Use a knife or toothpick to gently marble the two mixtures together, creating a swirl effect.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy!

Notes

For an extra special treat, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. They keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and can be frozen for up to three months.
