Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 large eggs
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
Flavor Enhancers and Liquids:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage with slight overhang for easy removal.
- Create the foundational brownie layer by whisking melted butter with cocoa powder, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture transforms into a rich, glossy consistency. Gently fold in flour and salt, maintaining a smooth texture without overmixing.
- Carefully spread the brownie batter evenly across the prepared pan, using a spatula to ensure uniform distribution and smooth surface.
- Craft the creamy cheesecake layer by blending cream cheese with sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until achieving a silky, lump-free mixture that cascades effortlessly over the brownie base.
- Delicately pour the cheesecake mixture atop the brownie layer, using a gentle swirling motion to create an artistic marbled effect.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, watching for a slightly jiggly center that indicates perfect moisture retention.
- While brownies cool, prepare the luxurious chocolate topping by warming heavy cream and incorporating chocolate chips, stirring until achieving a glossy, smooth ganache.
- Once brownies have reached room temperature, drizzle the molten chocolate ganache across the surface, allowing it to create elegant patterns.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to set the layers and enhance flavor complexity before slicing into precise, decadent squares.
Notes
- Ensure butter is fully melted and cooled slightly to prevent scrambling eggs during mixing.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother, lump-free cheesecake layer that blends seamlessly.
- Tap the pan gently on the counter before baking to release air bubbles and create a more even texture.
- For gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or gluten-free baking blend for equally decadent results.
