Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup (135g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) Baileys Irish Cream
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and granulated sugar together until combined and glossy, about 1 minute. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
  4. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a mixer (about 2-3 minutes). Add sugar and continue beating until fluffy. Mix in the egg, Baileys Irish Cream, and flour until fully incorporated and creamy.
  5. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Dollop half of the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer. Repeat with remaining brownie batter and cheesecake mixture, alternating dollops.
  6. Using a butter knife or skewer, gently swirl the brownie and cheesecake layers together to create a marbled effect without overmixing.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes. The edges should be set and a toothpick inserted in the center will come out with a few moist crumbs. The cheesecake layer might jiggle slightly but will firm up as it cools.
  8. Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing. For extra neat slices, chill in the fridge for an hour after cooling.

Notes

Do not overmix the brownie batter to keep it fudgy. Use softened cream cheese for a smooth cheesecake layer. Swirl gently to maintain distinct marbled layers. Cool completely and chill before slicing for clean cuts. Avoid overbaking to keep a moist center.
