Heavenly Cheesecake Brownies

• FOR THE CHOCOLATE BROWNIE LAYER:
• 1 stick Unsalted Butter
• 4 ounces, weight Semisweet Chocolate
• 2 whole Eggs
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 1 cup All-purpose Flour
• 1 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1/8 teaspoons Salt
• FOR THE CHEESECAKE LAYER:
• 16 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
• 1 whole Egg
• 1/2 cups Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F.
2. For the brownie layer, melt the butter and chocolate together in a double boiler or microwave oven and allow to cool. Beat together the eggs, sugar and vanilla until smooth, add in the cooled chocolate/butter mixture and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder if using, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and blend until all the flour is incorporated.
4. Blend all the cheesecake ingredients together in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer or food processor.
5. Line a baking dish (approximately 9") with parchment paper and pour in the chocolate mixture. Pour the cheesecake mixture on top and, using a butter knife, swirl so that some of the chocolate mixes with the cheesecake batter. Bake in a preheated 350u0b0F oven and allow to cool before removing from the pan and slicing.
