Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Almond extract
• 0.25 cup Slivered almonds (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal, and lightly grease the parchment.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of granulated sugar and 3 eggs. Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture while whisking to combine.

Step 4

Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Then, sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Set the brownie batter aside.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until fluffy and smooth. Add the remaining egg, almond extract, and remaining teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined.

Step 6

Pour about two-thirds of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer. Carefully spread the almond cheesecake mixture on top.

Step 7

Dollop the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake layer. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the batters together to create a marbled effect.

Step 8

Sprinkle the top with slivered almonds if desired for added texture and flavor.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Slice into 12 squares and serve.
