Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp culinary-grade matcha powder
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for cheesecake layer and dusting)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
In a bowl, mix melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in cocoa powder and flour until just combined.
In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and matcha powder, blending well. Incorporate one egg until fully combined.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared dish. Spoon dollops of the cheesecake mixture on top and swirl with a knife.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean with slight crumbs.
Allow cooling completely before slicing into squares and dusting with powdered sugar.
