Ingredients

Cheesecake Swirl

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Brownies

Instructions

Cheesecake Swirl

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper leaving an inch overhang on the long sides or grease the pan well with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment beat the softened cream cheese until fluffy.
  • Add the granulated sugar and beat well.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until smooth and creamy, and set cheesecake mix aside.

Brownies

  • Melt butter in a microwave safe large bowl or in a medium size pot over medium-low heat.
  • Whisk the cocoa powder and instant coffee granules into the melted butter until smooth.
  • Add the granulated sugar and whisk well.
  • Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until the batter is light and airy.
  • Switch to a rubber spatula or wooden spoon and stir in the all purpose flour just until combined and there are no more white streaks of flour.
  • Fold the chocolate chips into the brownie batter.
  • Spread the brownie batter into the prepared pan.
  • Dollop the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter in 3 columns by 5 rows.
  • Using a chopstick or butter knife, swirl and gently fold the cheesecake mixture into the brownie batter to create a marbled look.
  • Bake the brownies in preheated oven on center rack for 35-45 minutes. Test to see if brownies are done with the toothpick test. Insert a toothpick in center of brownies and it should come out with some damp crumbs or gooey brownie on it but it shouldn't look wet or raw.
  • Let the brownies cool completely then slice and serve.
