Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Melt dark chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat until smooth. Mix in granulated sugar and brown sugar until incorporated.
  2. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in instant espresso powder, vanilla extract, flour, and salt until just combined. Pour into a greased 9-inch baking pan.
  3. Bake the brownie layer for about 20 minutes while preparing the cheesecake filling. Beat cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
  4. Pour the cheesecake filling over the brownie layer and scatter blueberries on top, pressing them in slightly. Bake at 325°F for about 50 to 60 minutes until set around the edges but still jiggly in the center.
  5. Cool in the pan for an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Slice and serve.
