Ingredients
  

Brownie Batter
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Use high-quality cocoa for optimal taste.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Balances the richness.
  • 2 large Large Eggs Ensure they are fresh.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Contributes to the chewy texture.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (melted) Allows control over overall saltiness.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Essential for a well-rounded taste.
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips Optional for extra flavor.
Cheesecake Layer
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese (full-fat) Opt for full-fat for maximum creaminess.
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar Sweetens smoothly without grittiness.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Using pure extract enhances flavor.

Equipment

  • 8x8-inch baking pan
  • large mixing bowl
  • spatula
  • whisk
  • sifter

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, blend melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until the batter is rich and cohesive.
  4. Sift together cocoa powder and flour over the wet mixture, gently fold until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Pour half of the brownie batter into the pan; dollop cheesecake mixture over it, and then add remaining brownie batter.
  7. Gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
