Marbled Chocolate Cheesecake Bars Recipe

  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE:
  • 1 (8 ounce) package reduced fat cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
  1. In a small saucepan, combine the water, butter and chocolate. Cook and stir over low heat until melted; stir until smooth. Cool.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Add egg, egg white and sour cream; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in chocolate mixture until smooth. In another mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg white and vanilla; set aside.
  3. Spread chocolate batter into a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Drop the cream cheese mixture by tablespoonfuls over batter; cut through batter with a knife to swirl. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
  4. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
