I actually accidentally dropped some melted chocolate into my cream cheese mixture (insert sad face here) so my marbling doesn't particularly look as nice as I would've wanted. As you can see in the above photo, the marbling is almost non-existent. Sometimes these things happen and one can only sigh. But in all honesty I wanted to slap myself for doing something avoidable.
Cheesecake-Swirled Brownies

Adapted from Smitten Kitchen
Ingredients for brownie batter:
1/2 cup (4 oz or 1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
85g (3 oz) unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 tspn. pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2/3 cup all-purpose flour

Procedure for the brownie batter:
Preheat oven at 350F, making sure the oven rack is set at the middle of the oven. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan and set aside.
Heat butter and chopped chocolate in a mixing bowl floating over simmering water. Make sure the heat is low to moderate so as the chocolate will melt more gently. Occasionally stir or whisk the misture until fully melted.
Remove from the heat and immediately whisk in sugar, eggs, vanilla and that pinch of salt until well combined. Whisk in the flour until just combined, careful not to overmix. The batter should be kind of gooey and thick. Pour the batter into the baking pan and spread.
Ingredients for the cheesecake batter:
8 oz cream cheese, well-softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg yolk
1/4 tspn. pure vanilla extract
*1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Procedure:
Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. The chocolate chips can be added into the cheesecake batter, but I would recommend topping them later on after marbling.

Dollop the cheesecake batter over the brownie batter, then swirl with a butter knife by folding some of the cheesecake batter over the brownie batter in swirling motions. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the marbled batter if you haven't already put them into the cheesecake batter.
Bake the brownies until edges are slightly puffed and center is just set. I baked mine for 35 minutes more or less. It can be served warm, at room temperature or chilled.
