Ingredients
  

For the brownie layer:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking powder

For the cheesecake layer:

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the chocolate ganache layer:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Whisk in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.
  • Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Set aside the remaining batter.
  • Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  • Spread this cheesecake mixture evenly over the brownie layer.
  • Gently spread the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake layer. Don’t worry if it’s uneven; it will spread while baking.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the brownie portion comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool.
  • In a saucepan, heat heavy cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until smooth.
  • Allow ganache to cool slightly, then pour over cooled brownies and spread evenly.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set ganache. Once set, slice into squares and enjoy!
