Cheesecake Brownies

Ingredients:

For the Brownie Layer:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Cheesecake Layer:

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan and set aside.
2. In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the sugar and stir to combine. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla to the saucepan and stir until smooth.
4. Add the cocoa powder, flour, and salt, and stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan.
6. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth.
7. Add the egg and vanilla, and beat until well combined.
8. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter, and use a knife or spatula to swirl the two layers together.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan, then slice and serve.
