- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp milk
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Cheesecake Layer
- 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a ramekin to prevent sticking.
- Mix Brownie Batter: In a bowl, mix together the melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.

- Prepare Cheesecake Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
- Add Cheesecake Layer: Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter evenly.
- Swirl Mixtures: Using a toothpick or knife, gently swirl the cheesecake mixture into the brownie batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake: Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes until the edges are set but the center remains slightly soft.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Top with chocolate chips before baking for extra richness.
- Enjoy warm with vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
