Ingredients

• Brownie:
• 1 stick Butter, cut into pieces
• 5 1/2 oz good quality Bittersweet Baking Chocolate
• 3/4 cup Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 Egg Yolk
• 1/2 cup Flour
• 2 Tbsp Cocoa
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
• Cream Cheese Layer:
• 16 oz Cream Cheese, room temperature
• 2 Egg Yolks
• 2/3 cup Sugar
• 2 tsp Vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350.
Line the bottom of a 9x13 with baking paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and mix in sugar and then eggs and yolk, stirring vigorously with each addition. Mix in flour, cocoa, salt and vanilla stirring just until smooth.
To make the cheesecake mixture, place all the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix until combined.
Pour a bit more than half the brownie mixture into the bottom of the pan and spread evenly. Pour the cheese mixture gently on top of the brownie layer and smooth with a spoon.
Spoon the remaining brownie mixture over the top of the cheesecake mixture in 8 dollops of approximately 1 Tbsp each.
Take a knife or spatula and run it through the dollops creating a swirl design on top.
Bake for 40 minutes just until set.
Cool completely and cut into squares.
