ingredients
THE BROWNIE
3 1/2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
10 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
3 whole large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
THE CHEESECAKE
1 pound cream cheese, cold
1/2 cup sugar
1 whole large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
directions
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan with butter or vegetable oil, or line the bottom with parchment paper.
For Brownie: Melt the chocolate and butter together in the top of a double boiler placed over simmering water. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.
Place the sugar and the eggs in a medium-size mixing bowl, and using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high speed until pale yellow, 2 minutes. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula.
Add the flour on low speed and mix for 5 seconds. Scrape the bowl.
Add the cooled chocolate mixture on low speed and blend until mixed, 15 seconds, stopping the mixer once to scrape the bowl.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan, and place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes.
For Cheesecake Topping: Place all the cheesecake ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth, 1 minute. Stop the machine once during the process to scrape the bowl.
Remove the pan from the freezer. Carefully spoon the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer, and using a spatula, spread it over the brownie so as not to mix the two together.
Bake on the center rack of the oven until the top is set and the center is just about level with the edges, 1 hour and 5 to 10 minutes.
Cool the brownies in the pan for 30 minutes. Using a sharp thin knife, cut into 2 1/4-inch squares, dipping the knife in hot water and wiping it off after each cut.

I tried to double this and make it in a 13x9 dish but it didn't turn out. It didn't bake properly in the middle. The edges that did bake were very good though.

I'd never made cheesecake brownies before so I wasn't sure how they would turn out. They were great!! the brownie layer was moist and dense like a brownie should be and the cheesecake layer was the best cheesecake I think I've ever tasted! I think it was the almond extract that I liked so much.
