Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and prepare your tart pan with cooking spray and parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet baking chocolate, coffee (or water), granulated sugar, and salted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
  3. Whisk in unsweetened cocoa powder, large eggs, vanilla extract, and kosher salt into the chocolate mixture. Fold in the all-purpose flour.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the very soft cream cheese until smooth and creamy, adding the caramel sauce, additional egg, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
  5. Pour the brownie batter into the tart pan, reserving 1/4 cup. Spread the cream cheese mixture over it and drop dollops of reserved batter. Swirl with a knife.
  6. Bake for 22-28 minutes, until edges are set. Cool at room temperature before removing to serve.
