1⁄2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1⁄3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
1⁄4 tsp salt
8 oz cream cheese
1⁄4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan, then set it aside for later use.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
- Mix in the cocoa, flour, and salt until just fully combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a fudgy texture.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly across the bottom using a spatula.
- For the cheesecake layer, beat cream cheese, sugar, and egg until smooth and creamy in texture and consistency.
- Spread the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter, swirling gently to create a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until the cheesecake is lightly golden and set.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares for serving.
