Print Recipe

Decadent brownies with a rich hot chocolate cheesecake swirl, combining the best of chocolate and cheesecake in one dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup hot cocoa mix

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Place butter and 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
  3. Stir in cocoa powder until completely incorporated. Add both sugars, vanilla, and salt, stirring to combine.
  4. Stir in eggs, one at a time, until completely mixed through. Gently stir in flour until incorporated and no more flour is visible. Stir in mini chocolate chips.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and beat until combined. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in hot cocoa mix.
  6. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer and spread evenly.
  7. Carefully layer the remaining brownie batter on top of the cheesecake layer. Drop spoonfuls evenly and spread gently to avoid mixing layers.
  8. Bake for 30-38 minutes until set with just a little wiggle in the center and starting to pull away from the edges.
  9. Cool completely, then chill at least 2 hours before cutting. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips. Swirl the cheesecake and brownie layers gently for a marbled effect. Brownies can be topped with additional mini chocolate chips or a drizzle of hot fudge before serving.
