Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup red food coloring (optional for swirls)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
Mix in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined. Spread half of the brownie batter in the prepared baking pan.
In a separate bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. If desired, mix in red food coloring for swirls.
Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter and swirl gently with a knife. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the top and swirl again for a marbled effect.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. Let cool before cutting into squares.
