## Ingredients

- 225 g cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 60 g granulated sugar
- 5 mL vanilla extract
- 225 g unsalted butter
- 125 g Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 115 g light brown sugar
- 450 g powdered sugar
- 180 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 85 g semi-sweet chocolate
- 3 large eggs
- 65 g all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 15 mL olive oil

## Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F. Grease and line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper.
2. Prepare cream cheese layer: Whisk cream cheese, egg, vanilla, and sugar until smooth.
3. Prepare brownie layer: Brown butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring every 10 seconds. Once milk solids from butter sink and turn golden brown, transfer to a heatproof bowl.
4. Add cocoa powder, oil, vanilla, and chopped chocolate to the browned butter; mix until dissolved. Let the mixture cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
5. Whisk eggs and light brown sugar for 4-6 minutes until dissolved and the mixture turns light pale in color.
6. Add powdered sugar to the egg mixture; mix until combined (1-2 minutes).
7. Combine the egg mixture with the browned butter mixture; mix until combined.
8. Add flour and chocolate chips to the combined mixture; mix until just combined, do not overmix.
9. Transfer half of the brownie mixture to the prepared pan.
10. Reserve 30g/2-3 tbsp of cream cheese mixture; add the remaining cream cheese mixture to the brownie mixture in the pan.
11. Top with the remaining brownie batter and add the reserved cream cheese mixture. Make swirls.
12. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center is a little fudgy.
13. Let cool completely before cutting.
