Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp (8g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (110g) Nutella, slightly warmed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and granulated sugar until glossy and smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture using a rubber spatula, careful not to overmix. Batter should be thick and fudgy.
  4. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla extract, beating until combined. Fold in tablespoon of flour.
  5. Pour brownie batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Dollop cheesecake mixture over brownie base in spoonfuls.
  6. Warm Nutella slightly to make it pourable. Drop spoonfuls over cheesecake layer. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl Nutella into cheesecake, creating marbled patterns.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes until edges are set and center has slight jiggle. Avoid overbaking to keep fudgy texture.
  8. Cool brownies completely in pan on wire rack for at least 1 hour. Use parchment overhang to lift brownies out. Chill in fridge for 30 minutes before cutting for clean slices.
