Ingredients

1 cup butter
4 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate
16 oz. cream cheese two 8 oz. packages, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 large egg
2 cups granulated sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9" x 13" baking dish with butter and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring occasionally. When melted, remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes.
Make cream cheese filling. In a large bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, 1/2 c. sugar, 2 tsp. vanilla and 1 large egg. Set bowl aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), add melted chocolate mixture, 2 c. sugar, 2 tsp. vanilla, and 4 eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for about a minute. Add flour and salt and beat on low for about 30 seconds. Beat again using a medium speed for another minute.
Spread about 2 cups of chocolate brownie batter in bottom of the greased 9" x 13" dish. Spread cream cheese filling over the batter. Drop the remaining brownie batter in mounds evenly over cream cheese filling, spreading gently to cover cream cheese.
Bake 45-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack. Cut before serving. Store covered in refrigerator.

Notes

The number of servings depends on how you cut the brownies after they're baked. If you want more servings, cut them smaller. If you want a larger serving, there will be a smaller number of total servings.
