Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. You can also lightly grease the pan with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and dark chocolate.
- Microwave in short 15-30 second intervals, stirring between each until both are completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Brownie Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and 3/4 cup sugar until well combined and slightly pale.
- Slowly pour in the melted chocolate mixture, whisking continuously to combine.
- Sift in the flour and cocoa powder, and stir with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- In another mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1/3 cup sour cream together until smooth and creamy.
- Add 1/4 cup sugar and mix until fully integrated.
- Beat in the remaining 1 egg, mixing until the batter is smooth and fluffy.
- Pour about two-thirds of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Gently spread the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer.
- Drop spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake layer. Using a knife or a skewer, gently swirl the top layers together to create a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
- Keep an eye on the brownies in the last few minutes to avoid overbaking; you want them to remain moist and fudgy.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan.
- Slice into squares and serve.
Tips:
- For best results, use high-quality dark chocolate and cocoa powder to enhance the rich, chocolaty flavor of the brownies.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing. This will ensure a smooth and creamy consistency for the cheesecake layer.
- After combining the brownie and cheesecake mixtures, use a knife to create a marbled pattern for an attractive presentation.
- Allow the cheesecake brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares. This helps them set properly and makes slicing easier.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for up to a week.
Your delicious cheesecake brownies are now ready to be enjoyed. Each bite delivers the perfect balance of rich chocolate and creamy cheesecake. These treats are sure to become a favorite for any dessert lover. Serve them as they are, or with a scoop of ice cream for an extra indulgent experience.
