FUDGY MARBLED CHEESECAKE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 9-by 13- inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on at least 2 sides. Butter the foil.
• Whisk together the cocoa powder, salt and 1 1/2 cups of the flour in a medium bowl.
• Melt the butter and chocolate, stirring frequently, in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Transfer to a bowl and let cool for 10 minutes. Whisk in 2 cups of the sugar and 4 of the eggs. Add the flour mixture, and stir to combine. Chill for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat together the cream cheese, vanilla extract, remaining 1/3 cup sugar and 1 egg with an electric mixer in a large bowl on medium-high speed. Add the remaining 1/4 cup flour and beat until just combined.
• Use 2 ice cream scoops or large spoons to drop alternating scoopfuls of the 2 batters into the prepared pan. (You will have more brownie batter than cheesecake batter and that's okay; just make sure to disperse the batters as evenly as possible.) Spread a couple of kitchen towels on your countertop. Gently drop the baking pan onto the countertop a few times until the batter evens out (the towels should catch the splatters).
• Make the swirls: Drag a long wooden skewer through the batter, making sure the skewer reaches down to the bottom of the pan. This will marble the colors in a tie-dye effect. Tap the baking pan on the towels a few more times to smooth out the batter.
• Bake the brownies, rotating about halfway through, until the top is set and the skewer inserted in the center of the brownies comes out with only a few moist crumbs, about 50 minutes.
• Let the brownies cool completely in the pan set on a rack. Use the foil overhang to help lift them out of the pan. Cut into 16 pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

MARBLED PUMPKIN-MAPLE CHEESECAKE BARS

Steps:

• Crust:
• Place a rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°F. Lightly butter a 13x9x2" metal baking pan. Line with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on long sides, then butter parchment. Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs form (you should have a generous 2 cups). Add sugar and salt and pulse just to combine. Add ½ cup butter and pulse until mixture is the consistency of wet sand.
• Transfer crumbs to prepared pan and press firmly into bottom with a measuring cup. Bake crust until fragrant and edges are just starting to take on color, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
• Cheesecake and Assembly:
• Reduce oven temperature to 275°F. Beat cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt and beat on low speed, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl, until incorporated. Add sour cream and maple syrup and beat until mixture is thick and creamy and no lumps remain. Scoop ¾ cup filling into a small bowl and save for marbling later. Add pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, and ginger to remaining batter and beat until no streaks remain. Remove bowl from mixer and tap on counter several times to force any air bubbles to the filling's surface. Scrape filling into cooled crust; pop any air bubbles. Dollop reserved filling over pumpkin filling and swirl with a skewer or toothpick to marble.
• Bake cheesecake until edges are set but center still wobbles slightly when gently shaken (it will firm as it cools), 40-50 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack on stovetop and let cool (the warmth from the cooling oven will help it come to room temperature more slowly, keeping the top from cracking), about 3 hours.
• Chill cheesecake until cold and firm, 3-4 hours. Cut into bars or squares to serve.
• Do Ahead: Cheesecake can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
