These Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Brownies are soft, incredibly moist and rich – so perfect and decadent – you will love them!

Please don’t mind me while I do a super-happy dance.  Care to join me?

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Brownies | Inspiration KitchenRemember my staycation brain moment when I was going to bring you a FABulous cheesecake brownie recipe, then completely lost and forgot where I put it?

I was practically in tears because that recipe was so mouthwateringly good.

Remember what I told you about them?  Here’s a little re-cap from my previous post.

  • I made these fabulous brownies and everyone raved about them;
  • They were easy, chocolately, creamy, dreamy and fabulous;
  • They were soft, dissolve in your mouth on top, yet crunchy and chewy on the bottom;
  • They were cute as heck in their little swirl pattern selves;
  • And, they disappeared in <1 hour

Well, I finally found it!!!!!

And now, I get to share it with all of you.   I could just squeeeee I am so happy.  Because I really, really, really did not want to lose this one.

Enjoy!

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Brownies

Course: Desserts
Author: Kristi

Ingredients

  • 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 inch square baking pan.
  • Combine cream cheese with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 egg in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Stir 1 cup chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture. Set aside.
  • Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Turn the heat off, and set a heatproof mixing bowl over the water. In the mixing bowl, combine butter with the remaining cup of chocolate chips; stir until just melted and blended together. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 2 eggs, then sift together flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into chocolate until evenly blended.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan. Layer with the cream cheese mixture over the chocolate layer, and then top with remaining chocolate mixture (this doesn't need to completely cover the cream cheese layer). Using a knife, swirl the top chocolate layer into the cream cheese to make a marble pattern.
  • Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until top is crinkled and edges pull away from sides of the pan. Cool thoroughly before cutting into serving size pieces.
