Cream together softened butter and brown sugar. Beat in Nutella and eggs. Add flour and cocoa until combined.
In a separate bowl, beat together cream cheese, Nutella, sugar, and eggs. Scrape the brownie batter into the bottom of an 9×9 pan, and spoon the Nutella cheesecake mixture over the top of the brownie batter.
Smooth the cheesecake carefully over the brownie layer with a spatula. Bake for 50-55 minutes, the centre of the brownies will be set, but a cake tester won’t come out dry. Cool completely to set up before you cut it into squares.
