Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper and grease it with butter.
Brownie Batter:
- Melt the milk chocolate in the microwave in small intervals of 20 seconds until fully melted. Let the melted chocolate cool down before adding.
- Place the melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder in a large bowl, mixing until fully combined. Add in the eggs and whisk well to combine.
- Dissolve the instant coffee in 1 tablespoons of boiling (or really hot( water, then add it into the butter mixture. Mix in the melted chocolate.
- Sieve or sift in the flour and salt, folding everything with a spatula. Reserve about ½ cup of batter, set aside. Add the dark chocolate chips to the remaining batter, then pour it into the baking pan.
Cream Cheese Layer:
- Beat the cream cheese at medium speed for 2-3 minutes or until fluffy. Slowly add in the sugar, salt and vanilla, mixing at low speed to incorporate. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing them in well.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture on top of the brownie batter in the tray, levelling it with an offset spatula.
Swirl Together:
- Add 1 tablespoon of hot water over the reserved brownie batter, to thin it out.
- Randomly place dollops of the thinned brownie batter over the cream cheese. Use a skewer or knife to make swirls on the surface.
- Bake the cream cheese brownies for 30-35 minutes. Let the brownies cool down fully, then chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before cutting.
