Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup all-purpose flour

¼ tsp salt

8 oz cream cheese

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 large egg


Directions

1.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking pan, then set it aside for later use.

2.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla.

3.

Mix in the cocoa, flour, and salt until just fully combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a fudgy texture.

4.

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly across the bottom using a spatula.

5.

For the cheesecake layer, beat cream cheese, sugar, and egg until smooth and creamy in texture and consistency.

6.

Spread the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter, swirling gently to create a marbled effect.

7.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until the cheesecake is lightly golden and set.

8.

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares for serving.
