Ingredients

Brownies

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder

Cheesecake Layer

  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • cup Nutella

Topping

  • 3 tablespoons Nutella

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9 x 9 baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Add butter and semisweet chocolate to a saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar and vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring after each addition.
  • Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder, and mix until just combined. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes.
  • While the brownie batter is baking, make the cheesecake mixture by beating the cream cheese with the sugar and flour until well blended.
  • Add the egg, heavy cream, sour cream, and vanilla, and mix until well combined. Add the nutella and mix until smooth.
  • After the brownie batter has baked for 10 minutes, remove it from the oven and pour the cheesecake mixture over the top of the brownie batter, spreading evenly.
  • Heat the 3 tablespoons of Nutella in the microwave until warmed (about 30 seconds). Drizzle the Nutella over the top of the cheesecake mixture, and use a toothpick to swirl it throughout the batter.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes, until the cheesecake is set and only jiggles slightly when the pan is shaken gently. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
