Instructions

To make the brownie layer:

  • Mist a 9x9-inch pan* with non-stick spray, and line with parchment.
  • Place the sugar, melted butter, cocoa, and vanilla in a large bowl and whisk until smooth.
  • Mix in the eggs until fully incorporated.
  • Fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt, and transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
  • Top with cheesecake.

To make the cheesecake layer:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Place the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla in a medium bowl and mix until smooth.
  • Drop dollops of the cheesecake mixture over the unbaked brownies, and swirl with the tip of a knife.
  • Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the cheesecake brownies are set around the edges but still a little soft towards the center.
  • Cool completely before cutting into bars.

Notes

*This recipe can also be baked in a 9x13-inch pan. The brownies will come out a little thinner, and the bake time may need to be adjusted.
