Decadent cheesecake brownies with a fudgy chocolate base and creamy tangy swirl, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 oz (115 g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (for brownie batter)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for brownie batter)
  • 2/3 cup (85 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg (for cheesecake layer)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake layer)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt butter and chocolate together until smooth. Stir in granulated sugar, then add 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix in flour and salt until just combined.
  3. Pour most of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, reserving 1/4 cup for topping.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Spread over brownie layer.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of reserved brownie batter on top. Swirl with a knife in figure-eights.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes until edges are set and center slightly wobbly.
  7. Cool completely before slicing. Chill for an hour for cleaner cuts.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smooth filling.
  • Chill brownies before cutting for neat slices.
  • Experiment with add-ins like raspberry jam or crushed cookies.
