- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup pistachio paste
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios for topping
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan.
- In a bowl, melt the butter and mix in the granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients until just combined.
- In another bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, pistachio paste, and almond extract until smooth.
- Spread half of the brownie batter in the prepared pan, then layer the cheesecake mixture on top, followed by the remaining brownie batter.
- Swirl lightly with a knife to create a marbled effect, then sprinkle chopped pistachios on top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the brownie layer.
- Let cool before slicing and serving.
Notes
