Cheesecake Swirl Brownies
Ingredients
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1
Begin by heating your oven to a high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take some butter and grease a square baking pan with the right amount of lubrication to prevent any sticking issues.
3
To make the cake, combine a block of cream cheese with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 egg in a mixing bowl; use an electric mixer to blend the ingredients until they are perfectly smooth.
4
Meanwhile, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips in a saucepan with some water until they are just dissolved and well combined.
5
Turn off the heat, then place a heat-resistant mixing bowl over the water to create a makeshift double boiler.
6
In this hot water bath, combine 1/2 cup of chocolate chips with some melted butter; stir until the two ingredients are just blended together.
7
Add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 2 eggs to the chocolate mixture, then sift together some flour, baking powder, and salt; stir until everything is evenly combined.
8
Pour half of the cake batter into a prepared 9-inch square baking pan, then spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of the chocolate layer.
9
Next, pour the remaining cake batter over the cream cheese mixture and spread it evenly to cover the entire surface.
10
Using a knife, swirl the top layer of chocolate into the cream cheese mixture to create a marbled effect.
11
Place the cake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is crispy and the edges are pulling away from the sides of the pan.
12
Once the cake is done, let it cool completely before cutting it into 12 to 16 squares.
13
Finally, store the cake in the refrigerator or freezer for later enjoyment.
