Instructions:
-
Prepare Cheesecake Layer:
- In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Prepare Brownie Batter:
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until melted and smooth.
- Stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the all-purpose flour and baking powder, mixing until smooth.
- Spread the brownie batter evenly into a greased microwave-safe 8-inch square dish. Set aside.

Create Marble Effect:
- Soften the cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl by heating on high for 45-60 seconds. Stir until smooth.
- Add sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the softened cream cheese. Beat until well combined.
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter in the dish. Use a knife to gently swirl the two batters together, creating a marble effect.
- Sprinkle semi-sweet chocolate chips over the top of the batter.
-
Cooking Process:
- Shield the corners of the dish with triangles of foil to prevent overcooking.
- Place the dish on an inverted microwave-safe saucer to elevate it.
- Cook uncovered at 70% power for 11-13 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Rotate the dish halfway through the cooking time.
- After cooking, heat on high for an additional minute to ensure thorough baking.
