Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, red food coloring, salt, espresso powder, vinegar, and eggs. Whisk until smooth for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gradually sift in the flour, stirring gently until just combined to maintain the fudgy consistency.
  4. In a separate bowl, blend softened cream cheese, sugar for cheesecake, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth and creamy.
  5. Spread the brownie batter in the prepared pan, dollop the cheesecake mixture on top, and gently swirl with a knife.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 1 hour, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
