Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter and 1 1/4 cups of sugar until smooth.
  3. Add in 3 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
  4. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, and gently fold until the batter is just combined. Set aside.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  6. Spread half of the chocolate batter into the prepared pan.
  7. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the chocolate layer, reserving a little for marbling on top.
  8. Gently pour the remaining chocolate batter over the cream cheese layer, then spoon the reserved cream cheese mixture in dollops on top.
  9. Use a knife to swirl the layers together, creating a marbled effect.
  10. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top.
  11. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  12. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!

Chef’s Tips

  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
  • Do not over-swirl the cheesecake mixture; a few gentle swirls will suffice.
  • For easy slicing, chill the brownies in the fridge for a couple of hours after cooling.
