Effortless Cream Cheese Brownie (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base Layer

01 - 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
02 - 3 grams salt
03 - 125 grams all-purpose flour
04 - 100 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
05 - 10 millilitres vanilla extract
06 - 4 large eggs
07 - 400 grams granulated sugar
08 - 225 grams unsalted butter

→ Swirl Mix

09 - 2.5 millilitres vanilla extract
10 - 1 large egg
11 - 50 grams granulated sugar
12 - 225 grams cream cheese, let it get soft

# Instructions:

01 - Lay parchment in a 23 x 33 cm pan. Give it a quick spray with non-stick spray. Crank the oven up to 175°C.
02 - Pour chocolate chips in last and fold them in gently. Add the dry mix into the wet bowl bit by bit. In a separate bowl, mix salt, flour, and cocoa powder. After each egg, mix it in well. Pour in the vanilla extract. Next, toss in one egg at a time. Mix melted butter with sugar 'til it's silky.
03 - Toss together cream cheese and beat till dreamy. Sprinkle in the sugar and whip it up. Add the egg and vanilla and blend until lump-free.
04 - Use a knife to make swirly marble patterns, don’t fuss too much. Drop the last bit of brownie mixture on top. Spoon the cream cheese on, scatter it around. Spread most of the brownie batter into your pan first.
05 - Bake about 35 to 40 minutes. Let 'em cool off before you cut. If a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs (not runny stuff), they're done.

# Notes:

01 - If everything's at room temp, your batter will mix easy and the swirl turns out awesome.
