I had the best of intentions with these brownies. They were going to be a thank you gift to a sweet friend who watched Violet last weekend for us.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

But you know how it goes. As soon as I pulled these decedent ,chocolaty, creamy, cheesecakey, gooey pieces of heaven out of the oven, I just had to have a bite of brownie. or two. Okay, I ate the whole darn pan full over 3 day’s time. I traded my friendship with my sweet friend for a brownie. And it was totally worth it! (she says dripping with sarcasm).<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Now, don’t you want to learn how to make this recipe? It is David Lebovitz’s amazing recipe. Amazingly simple to make. Even more amazingly simple to consume!<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Cheesecake Brownie<\/b>
recipe from David Lebovitz<\/a>
One 9-inch (23cm) square pan (I bake mine in 7x10in pan)
6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
4 ounces (115g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
2\/3 cup (130g) sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1\/2 cup (70g) flour
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1\/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1\/2 cup (80g) chocolate chips
8 ounces (200g) cream cheese, at room temperature
1 large egg yolk
5 tablespoons (75g) sugar
1\/8 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Line a 9-inch (23cm) square pan with foil, making sure it goes up all four sides. Use two sheets if necessary. Mist with non-stick spray or grease lightly.\u00a0Preheat oven to 350 degrees (180C).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Melt the butter and chocolate in a large steel bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Remove from heat and beat in the 2\/3 cup (130g) sugar, then the eggs.\u00a0Sift in the flour, cocoa powder and salt, then the vanilla and chocolate chips.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0Spread evenly in the prepared pan.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, the yolk, 5 tablespoons (75g) of sugar, and vanilla until smooth.\u00a0Distribute the cream cheese mixture in eight dollops across the top of the brownie mixture, then take a dull knife or spatula and swirl the cream cheese mixture with the chocolate batter.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Bake for 35min or until center feels just set (I bake mine at 175degreeC and it took exactly 20minutes. Be careful not to over-bake them)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I don’t have a pretty all done picture with the brownies all cut up because I just couldn’t wait to eat these lovlies!<\/p>\n
