Preparation

Step 1

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate. Stir until smooth; cool slightly. Beat in butter. Gradually beat in 1 ⅓ cups sugar. Add six eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.

Combine flour and coffee granules; add to chocolate mixture. Beat on low speed until combined, then set aside.

For filling, in a small bowl, beat the cheese, vanilla, and remaining sugar and eggs until smooth.

Pour 4 cups of chocolate batter into a greased 13x9x2 baking pan. Spread with filling. Top with remaining batter, spreading evenly to completely cover filling.

Bake at 350˚ for 45-50 minutes or until center is almost set and brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool on a wire rack. Dust with cocoa. Cut into squares. Store in refrigerator.
