2. Prepare Brownie Batter:

   • In a saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth.
   • Stir in the sugar until well blended.
   • Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
   • Gradually stir in the flour until the batter is smooth and well combined.

3. Bake Brownie Layer:

   • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared springform pan, spreading it evenly.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

4. Cool and Prepare Mint Layer:

   • Allow the brownie layer to cool completely on a wire rack.
   • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
   • Mix in the mint extract and green food coloring (if using) until evenly incorporated.
