Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (75 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp (8 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 5–7 drops green food coloring

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and granulated sugar until combined and glossy, about 1-2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold into wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Add egg, vanilla extract, and flour; mix until creamy and lump-free. Stir in green food coloring drop by drop until vibrant.
  5. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, smoothing evenly. Dollop half of the cheesecake mixture on top. Repeat with remaining brownie batter and cheesecake mixture. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl layers for a marbled effect.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Start checking at 35 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the brownie part; look for moist crumbs but no raw batter.
  7. Let brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, at least one hour.
  8. Slice with a sharp knife, wiping clean between cuts. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Melted butter should be warm but not hot to avoid cooking eggs prematurely. Fold dry ingredients gently to keep brownies fudgy. Use a gentle swirling technique for a marbled look. Cool brownies completely before slicing for clean cuts. If cheesecake swirl is too runny, add up to 1 tbsp flour to stabilize.
