Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
  2. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease it.
  3. Melt unsweetened chocolate and butter together in a double boiler.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cooled chocolate mixture and granulated sugar until combined. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  5. Gradually fold in flour, baking soda, and salt, ensuring the batter remains fudgy.

  7. Drop dollops of the reserved brownie batter over the cheesecake layer and swirl with a knife.
