Cheesecake is good. Brownies are good. Cheesecake marbled brownies are ridiculously good. You can definitely cheat and use a boxed brownie mix and just top with the cheesecake topping, but why cheat when making a homemade batch is so easy? I'll warn you, this is a very rich desert. Don't be fooled by the 8 x 8 pan size because one little square will be more than enough to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Marbled Brownies
Makes 16 2-inch square, thick brownies
Brownie batter
1 stick (1/2 cup or 4 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
Cheesecake batter
8 ounces cream cheese, well softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Plus
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Make brownie batter: Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Heat butter and chocolate in a 3-quart heavy saucepan — though I did mine double-boiler style, placing the mixing bowl I was using over simmering water, thereby creating one less dirty dish and melting the chocolate more gently — over moderately low heat, whisking occasionally, just until melted. Remove from heat and whisk in sugar, eggs, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Whisk in flour until just combined and spread in baking pan.
Make cheesecake batter: Whisk together cheesecake batter ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Dollop over brownie batter, then swirl in with a knife or spatula.Sprinkle chocolate chips over cheesecake/brownie batter swirl.
Bake brownies: Bake until edges are slightly puffed and center is just set, about 35 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

ReplyDeleteHey girl! How are ya and the kiddies? Insha Allah you are all well and fine.
Man, I missed soooooooooo many of your posts...and they sure do sound yummy (read fattening :P )
I'd love to take credit for the chocolate chips on top, but its straight from the recipe. Which, by the way, is just a tad bit different than the one I posted before (at the forums). This one has an even thick cheesecake layer!
