Step 1

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan.

Step 2

Heat butter and chocolate in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, whisking occasionally, just until melted.

Step 3

Remove from heat and whisk in sugar, eggs, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Step 4

Whisk in flour until just combined and spread in baking pan.

Step 5

Whisk together cheesecake batter ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 6

Dollop cheesecake batter over brownie batter, then swirl in with a knife or spatula.

Step 7

Sprinkle chocolate chips over cheesecake/brownie batter swirl.

Step 8

Bake until edges are slightly puffed and center is just set, about 35 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Step 9

Chill brownies until they’re almost frozen before cutting them for a clean slice. Serve cold, if preferred.

Chef’s notes

For a more visibly marbled effect, use a butter knife to fold bits of the brownie batter over the cheesecake batter.

Brownies can be stored in the freezer for easy serving later.
