Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 8oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Stir in the cocoa powder, salt, and red food coloring. Fold in the flour until just combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Pour 3/4 of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Add the cheesecake mixture in dollops on top. Drop the remaining brownie batter in spoonfuls over the cheesecake layer.
  5. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the brownie and cheesecake layers together, creating distinct patterns.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing. Refrigerate for an hour before serving for cleaner cuts.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the brownie batter to avoid dense brownies.’, ‘Ensure eggs and cream cheese are at room temperature for smooth batter and even baking.’, ‘Swirl gently to create distinct patterns without muddying the layers.’, ‘Use quality cocoa powder for better flavor and color.’, ‘Refrigerate brownies before slicing for cleaner cuts.’]
