Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 ounces (113 grams) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese (preferably Philadelphia)
- 5 tablespoons (71 grams) unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
Dry Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup (90 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (15 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons (15 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Liquid and Sweet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (110 grams) light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup (67 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) Baileys Irish Cream
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) Baileys Irish Cream
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by warming the oven to 350°F and coating an 8-inch pan with a thin layer of butter or nonstick spray.
- Gently warm cream cheese in the microwave until it becomes pliable and soft.
- Create the cheesecake mixture by blending cream cheese with sugar, egg yolk, vanilla extract, Baileys liqueur, and flour until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Melt butter in a heatproof container, then incorporate chopped chocolate, stirring until achieving a glossy, smooth chocolate base. Briefly reheat if chocolate remains unmelted.
- Craft the brownie base by vigorously whisking eggs, granulated and brown sugars, vanilla extract, Baileys, and salt into a harmonious liquid.
- Integrate the molten chocolate mixture into the egg blend, then delicately fold in flour and cocoa powder until just incorporated.
- Extract and set aside a half-cup of brownie batter, then distribute the remaining batter evenly across the prepared pan.
- Carefully spread the prepared cheesecake mixture over the initial brownie layer.
- Slightly warm the reserved brownie batter, then artfully drop small portions atop the cheesecake layer, creating swirling patterns with a knife.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, monitoring until the center becomes firm and slightly elevated.
- Allow the dessert to cool completely before cutting into 12-16 elegant squares.
- Serve at room temperature or chill for a denser, more intense chocolate experience.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese carefully to prevent overheating, which can cause lumpy texture in the cheesecake layer.
- Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter and more even mixing of ingredients.
- create gentle, random patterns with a knife for a professional marbled look without overmixing.
- Adjust baking time if using different pan sizes to ensure even cooking and prevent burning or underbaking.
