Pre-heat oven to 160ÂșC. Line an 8"x8" baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
Melt butter in a saucepan or in microwave. Stir in sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and salt. Once combined, fold in cocoa powder and flour.
Pour the brownie batter into a baking dish, spreading evenly to the edges. Combine all the cheesecake ingredients in a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Cream for 2-3 minutes on medium high speed.
Pour over the brownie batter, spreading evenly to the edges. Drizzle the blackberry puree on top of the cheesecake in dollops and swirl using a fork, knife or toothpick. Try ro swirl only into the cheesecake batter, not the brownie batter.
