Ingredients

Brownies:
12 ounces semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

¾ cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 eggs, room temperature

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

⅓ cup cornstarch

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Cheesecake Layer:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened

½ cup granulated sugar

1 egg, room temperature

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease with butter.

  • Make the brownie batter: Melt chocolate chips and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Sift in cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt, then fold in mini chocolate chips.

  • Make the cheesecake layer: Beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add egg and vanilla, mixing until fully combined.

  • Assemble the brownies: Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan. Spoon the cheesecake mixture on top and spread evenly.

  • Swirl the cheesecake into the brownie batter using a knife or toothpick.

  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. The cheesecake should be set, and the brownies firm.

  • Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.

Reheating: Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes.
