Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugar until smooth. Stir in cocoa powder, vanilla, red food coloring, salt, espresso powder, vinegar, and eggs one at a time. Mix until well combined.
Fold in flour gently until just combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk; mix until creamy.
Pour half the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Spoon dollops of cream cheese mixture over it, then top with remaining brownie batter. Gently swirl with a knife.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely before lifting out using parchment overhang; cut into bite-sized squares.
