Description
Rich, fudgy brownies topped with creamy cheesecake swirls make this dessert irresistible and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugar. Whisk until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Mix just until combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy and well-blended.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Dollop the cheesecake mixture over the top in spoonfuls. Use a knife or skewer to create swirls for a marbled look.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing. Refrigerate for an hour for cleaner cuts.
Notes
For cleaner cuts, refrigerate the brownies for an hour before slicing. Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better texture.
