3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp gel food coloring
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 and ½ cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 egg

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in sugar and cocoa powder until combined.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and food coloring.
In another bowl, whisk together flour and salt; mix into wet ingredients until just combined.
For the cheesecake swirl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and egg until smooth.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan; spread the cheesecake mixture over it, then top with remaining brownie batter. Swirl gently with a knife.
Bake for 30–35 minutes or until set but fudgy. Let cool before slicing.
