Nutella Cheesecake Brownies

In one bowl, beat all the brownie ingredients together. In a separate bowl, beat together all of the Nutella cheesecake ingredients. Scrape the brownie batter into the bottom of an 8×8 pan (yes, it will be quite full – these are thick brownies!) Spoon little plops of the Nutella cheesecake all over the top of the brownie batter.

Smooth the cheesecake carefully and completely over the brownie layer with a spatula. Bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F and bake for 50-55 minutes. The center of the brownies will be set, but if you poke a toothpick into them, it won’t come out dry. It’s okay…the cheesecake layer needs to cool completely to set up.
