Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together all Brownie Base ingredients until combined. Gradually add hot water and mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl, beat together all Cream Cheese Swirl ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter.
