How to Make Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 1 large egg until smooth.
  7. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Dollop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture over the batter. Swirl gently with a knife or toothpick.
  8. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake mixture and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.
