¾ cup all purpose flour

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

How to Make Brownie

Preheat the oven to 350F and prepare an 8-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper and spraying it with cooking spray.
For the brownie layer, start by placing the butter and 1 ⅓ cups of chocolate chips in a large bowl. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth or use a hot bath method.
Whisk in the sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, follow by flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside a ¼ cup of the batter in a separate bowl. Spread the rest of the batter into the prepared baking dish.

For the Cheesecake Layer

For the cheesecake layer, mix cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add an egg and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter in the baking tray and spread it to the edges.
Next, drop small spoonfuls of the reserved brownie batter over the cheesecake layer in even rows and spread it with toothpick makig a swirly design.
Bake the cheesecake brownies for approximately 30-40 minutes (Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs or clean, they're done. If it's wet with batter, they need more time).
Once the brownies have cooled, cut them into 12 squares. Enjoy your delicious cheesecake brownies with pumpkin spice latte!

Notes

Add chocolate chips inside the brownies for more chocolaty flavor, about ½ cup of chocolate chips or more if desired.
Store homemade brownies inside the airtight container, eat within 3 days.
