Ingredients
For the Brownies –
- 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter melted
- 6 large eggs
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
For the Cheesecake Swirl –
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 9 X 13 inch baking dish with parchment paper or foil.
- For the Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl combine sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir well. Then whisk in melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips.
- For the Cream Cheese Swirl: In a separate bowl combine the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer until very smooth.
- Spread two-thirds of the brownie batter in the prepared baking dish. Spread the cheesecake layer over the brownie batter. Then dollop the remaining brownie batter over the top of the cream cheese layer.
- Use a butter knife to swirl the brownie batter and cheesecake together in a pretty pattern.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely, then cut into 24-30 pieces.

Notes
- Pro Tip: For clean edged squares, wipe the knife with a wet paper towel between cuts.
- To Store: Once the brownies cool completely, transfer them to an airtight container or wrap the brownie pan tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Keep on the counter for 3-4 days, or refrigerate for up to 6 days.
