Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownies

Instructions

1. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Spray or butter an 8-inch square baking pan.
3. Fashion a double boiler by resting a large heat proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Add the butter and chopped chocolate and whisk occasionally until melted.
4. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Whisk in flour and cocoa powder until just combined, and pour into prepared pan.

Make cheesecake batter:

1. Mix together cheesecake batter ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Drop over brownie batter, (getting it all the way to edges, which I kinda failed at,) then swirl in with the back of a knife or skewer.
2. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the swirled batters. Bake until edges are slightly puffed and center is just set, about 35 minutes. (You can serve these warm or room temperature, but I prefer them cold- and they slice much easier that way!)
