Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and add in chocolate chips and sugar.
- Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add in eggs, one at a time, stirring completely after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
- Add the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Using big strokes, stir in JUST until mixed and no longer see dry ingredients. DO NOT BEAT OR OVER STIR.
- Pour about 3/4ths of the brownie batter into the dish. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and completely combined.
- Add egg and vanilla extract and beat for 30 seconds.
- Pour cheesecake over the brownie layer.
- Add dollops of the remaining brownie batter on top of the cheesecake layer and swirl the two layers with a knife.
- Bake for 40 minutes. The center will still be a little jiggly. Cover with foil to prevent the cheesecake layer from browning, and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool completely before cutting.
Notes
- Make sure not to swirl the two layers together too much. The more you swirl, the contrast between the two will be less distinct.
- These are best served chilled. As the brownies come to room temperature, they get gooier.
- Storing. Transfer cooled brownies to an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to one week.
- Freezing. Freeze brownies for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
