Ingredients:
- 1 cup of unsalted butter

- 3/4 cup of cocoa powder
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 yolk
- 1 tablespoon of coffee
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of water
For the cheesecake topping:
- 16 oz of cream cheese
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 eggs
Instructions:
Step 1:
Make the brownies. In a large bowl, add the melted butter and 1 cup of chocolate chips. Microwave at low power on short bursts until most are melted. Stir together until smooth.
Step 2:
Immediately add the cocoa powder and salt to the chocolate and mix until well combined.
Step 3:
Add white and brown sugars, eggs, yolks, vanilla, and coffee into the mixture. Mix until it becomes smooth.
Step 4:
Add the flour and mix until just combined then add in the remaining chocolate chips. Reserve 1/2 cup of the brownie batter, and transfer the remaining mixture to a pan lined with parchment paper. Set aside.
Step 5:
Make the cheesecake topping. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the room-temperature cream cheese and whisk at medium speed for about 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 6:
Lower the speed to low and slowly add sugar, salt, and vanilla. After that, add the eggs one at a time, while mixing. Scrape down the sides and mix again.
Step 7:
Transfer the cheesecake mixture to the brownie base and spread it evenly.
Step 8:
Add dollops of the reserved batter then swirl it with a skewer.
Step 9:
Place in the oven and bake at 350F for about 10 minutes then reduce temperature to 325F and continue baking for 35 minutes.
