Ingredients

  • *for the topping*
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoon plain greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoon white all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • *for the brownies*
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoon milk
  • 2 eggs
  • cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • additional chocolate chips for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F, and line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, greek yogurt, and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Beat in the flour, followed by the eggs, vanilla, and salt. Stir until smooth, then set aside.
  • Now, make the brownie. In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, butter, milk, and sugar. Microwave for 30-45 seconds, until everything is smooth and melted.
  • Let cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla extract.
  • Stir in the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, and pour the cheesecake topping on top.
  • Using a butter knife, gently swirl the brownie and cheesecake together to create a marbled effect.
  • Top brownie with more chocolate chips if desired.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the brownie does not jiggle and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Let cool to room temperature before removing from pan.
