Cheesecake Brownies
BROWNIE INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup salted butter, melted
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 1/8 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 a bag of dark chocolate chips
CHEESECAKE INGREDIENTS
1 - 8oz package of softened cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan with butter. Line with parchment paper (or baking paper); set aside.
Combine melted butter, oil and sugar together in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk well for about a minute. Add the eggs and vanilla.
Add flour, cocoa powder and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined. Do not over mix!
Let cool slightly and add chocolate chips.
Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top out evenly.
Mix cream cheese, egg yolk and 1/3 cup granulated sugar in a bowl with a hand mixer until smooth.
Spoon in dollops over brownie mixture. Swirl mixture together with a chopstick or toothpick.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the center of the brownies in the pan no longer jiggles and is just set to the touch. If testing with a toothpick, the toothpick should come out dirty for fudgy brownies.
Remove and allow to cool to room temperature before slicing into 16 brownies.
