Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 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 (softened)
• 0.33 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake swirl)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Stir granulated sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix. Set aside.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract (for the cheesecake swirl) until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture onto the brownie batter. Use a skewer or butter knife to create swirls, forming a tiger stripe pattern.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out, then slice into 16 squares.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy your gorgeous Tiger Striped Brownies!
