Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8″ x 8″ pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a medium, microwave safe bowl, heat the salted butter, dark chocolate, and milk chocolate on high for 30 seconds. Remove and stir with a rubber spatula. Continue to melt at 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted. Stir in the vanilla extract and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and eggs for about 30-60 seconds until light and fluffy. The mix should have more volume and it will begin to bubble as it sits. With a rubber spatula, slowly stir in 1/3 of the cooled chocolate. Continue to add 1/3 at a time, stirring to combine.
  4. Fold in the dark cocoa powder, flour, corn starch, instant espresso powder, and salt until there’s just a dusting of cocoa powder on top. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Pour 2/3 of the brownie mix into the prepared pan. Set aside the bowl with the remaining 1/3 of the mix.
  6. Make the Kahlúa Cheesecake Mix: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a hand mixer or wooden spoon, beat the cream cheese until soft and smooth. Add in the sugar and beat until combined. Add in the egg and beat, on low, until fully incorporated.
  7. Dollop a few tablespoons of the cheesecake mix onto the brownie. Spread over the remaining 1/3 of the brownie mix. Dollop a few more tablespoons of the cheesecake mix (you may have some left over). Take a toothpick or a knife and swirl the cheesecake and brownie together.
  8. Bake on the middle rack for 48-54 minutes. The edges will set. Check the brownie after 45 minutes, if the center still jiggles, return the brownie to the oven for 3-9 minutes until the center no longer jiggles.
  9. Let the brownie cool completely. Slice into 2″ x 2″ squares and enjoy!
