Ingredients
Scale
- 9 oz (250g) cream cheese
- softened
- ⅓ cup (65g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 2 tablespoon (30ml) full fat sour cream
- 5 oz (142g) bittersweet chocolate (70% cocoa) coarsely chopped
- 6 tablespoon (84g) unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup (50g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon (6g) cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, egg, and sour cream. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, melt the chopped bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter together, stirring until fully combined.
- Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly, then add the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Stir in the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder until just combined.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out. Spoon the cheesecake batter on top and spread it evenly. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake layer.
- Using a knife, swirl the brownie and cheesecake batters together to create a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing, and don’t overmix the cheesecake batter to avoid incorporating too much air.
