Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Cheesecake Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (use dairy-free for vegan adaptation)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg (or egg substitute for vegan adaptation)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Batter: Melt the butter and mix it with cocoa powder, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually fold in the flour and a pinch of salt until the batter is smooth and glossy. Stir in the chocolate chips for extra melty chunks. This batter forms the rich, fudgy base of the dessert.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Mixture: Beat the cream cheese with sugar and an egg until creamy and smooth. Add vanilla extract to deepen the flavor. This cheesecake mixture provides a luscious contrast to the chocolate brownie.
  3. Layer the Batter: Pour half of the brownie batter into a greased baking pan. Spoon the cheesecake mixture evenly over the brownie layer. Dollop and spread the remaining brownie batter on top, creating beautiful swirls that combine the brownie and cheesecake layers.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Bake in a moderate oven at approximately 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 40 minutes, until the edges are set and the cheesecake layer is slightly puffed but not overly browned. Let it cool completely to allow the layers to set properly.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the dessert for several hours or overnight for the best texture and flavor. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with powdered sugar, chocolate or caramel sauce, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and a smooth cheesecake layer.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies fudgy and tender.
  • Grease your pan well to prevent sticking and allow clean slices.
  • The cheesecake layer should be slightly jiggly but set; this keeps it creamy.
  • Proper chilling helps flavors marry and makes slicing easier and cleaner.
  • For clean slices, use a sharp knife warmed under hot water and wiped dry before cutting.
