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.
