Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch by 8 inch pan with parchment paper.
2
In a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, add the room temperature cream cheese and sugar. Beat for 2 minutes, until creamy.
3
Then, add in the egg and vanilla. Beat until combined. Set aside.
4
Make the brownie batter. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Then, stir in the chocolate chips. Stir until completely smooth and creamy.
5
In a large mixing bowl, add the sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Whisk vigorously for 3 minutes, until light and frothy.
6
Pour in the melted chocolate mixture. Stir to combine.
7
Then, add in the flour and cocoa powder. Stir together.
8
Pour ¾ of the brownie batter into the parchment lined pan. Smooth into an even layer.
9
Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake batter on top.
10
Then, drop spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter on top. Swirl together with a knife or toothpick.
11
Bake for 25 to 27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean.
12
Finally, remove the pan from the oven. Allow the cheesecake brownies to fully cool before slicing and serving!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Room Temperature Cream Cheese 🧈Bring cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free cheesecake swirl layer that blends seamlessly with the brownie batter.
- Bloom Your Chocolate 🍫Melt chocolate chips with butter over a double boiler or in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring between each, to prevent seizing and achieve that signature fudgy texture.
- Strategic Swirling Technique 🌀Dollop cheesecake mixture over brownie batter, then use a knife or toothpick to create swirls without over-mixing, which prevents the layers from fully combining and keeps distinct flavor pockets.
- Underbake Slightly for Fudginess 🕐Remove brownies when a toothpick inserted comes out with just a few moist crumbs (not clean), as residual heat will continue cooking and maintain that coveted fudgy, dense texture.
- Chill Before Cutting ❄️Refrigerate the cooled brownies for at least 2 hours before cutting with a hot, wet knife to achieve clean, professional-looking squares and prevent the cheesecake layer from smudging.
