Headnotes from the cookbook: don't wiggle your nose at the idea of lemon and chocolate together. Tangy citrus and creamy fudge actually combine quite well, kind of like a yin and yang of desserts. These gooey brownies are swirled with succulent lemon cream cheese batter. The results are absolutely gorgeous.
