Brownie Swirl Cheesecake

Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package brownie mix
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
1 cup milk chocolate chips, melted
Whipped cream (optional)

Directions:
1. Grease the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Prepare the brownie mix as directed on the package; pour the batter evenly into the pan. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes.
2. Combine the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla, mixing at medium speed on an electric mixer until well blended. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour over the brownie layer.
3. Spoon the melted chocolate over the cream cheese mixture; cut through the cheese and chocolate mixture several times to make a marble effect.
4. Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes. Loosen the cake from the rim of the pan; cool before removing the rim. Chill. Garnish with whipped cream, if desired.
