# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Warm your oven to 350 F (175 C). Put parchment on your baking tray.
02 -
Stir the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in one bowl. In another bowl, mix the butter and white sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, stirring till creamy. Slowly blend in your dry stuff just until mixed. Toss in the chocolate chips.
03 -
Beat your cream cheese with icing sugar and lemon peel in a different bowl until it's nice and fluffy.
04 -
Spread about 2/3 of your brownie mix on the baking tray, making sure it covers the bottom. Add dollops of cream filling on top, spreading it thin. Drip the leftover brownie mix over this layer, then swirl everything a bit with a knife to make it look fancy.
05 -
Stick it in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the edges get firm but the middle stays a bit soft. Take it out and let it cool completely on a rack.
06 -
After it's totally cool, grab the parchment and lift everything onto a cutting board. Cut it all into tiny squares or rectangles.
