1. 1
   In a bowl, whisk 3 Tbsp. ground cardamom, 2 Tbsp. ground ginger, 4½ tsp. ground cinnamon, ¾ tsp. ground cloves, ¾ tsp. ground anise seeds, ¾ tsp. ground fennel, and ½ tsp. ground nutmeg until well combined. Do Ahead: This makes ½ cup (48 g). Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
2. 2
   In a medium bowl, beat together 8 oz. (225 g) full-fat cream cheese and ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar until smooth. Whisk in 1 large egg, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, 1¼ tsp. instant coffee or espresso powder, and ¼ tsp. kosher salt until well combined. Set aside.
3. 3
   Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 13x9" pan with unsalted butter, softened, and line with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together 1¼ cups (150 g) all-purpose flour, 1 cup (84 g) unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-process), and ¼ tsp. baking soda and set aside.
4. 4
   In a saucepan, melt 10 Tbsp. (143 g) unsalted butter over medium heat. Remove from the heat and stir in ½ cup (93 g) finely chopped dark chocolate (about 72% cacao) until melted. Set aside to cool.
5. 5
   In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk, combine 3 large eggs, 1¼ cups (250 g) granulated sugar, 2 Tbsp. light brown sugar, 2 tsp. chai masala, ½ tsp. kosher salt, and ½ tsp. vanilla extract. Whisk on high speed for 6 minutes until thick and glossy. Slowly pour in the chocolate/butter mixture and mix until well combined. Sift in the flour mixture and mix until all the dry ingredients are incorporated. Fold in ½ cup (77 g) semisweet chocolate chips until just combined.
6. 6
   Spoon half the batter into the baking pan and use an offset spatula to spread it into an even layer. Add dollops of each batter on top and use a knife to swirl the two batters. Tap the pan on the counter four or five times to get rid of any air bubbles and to level out the batter.
7. 7
   Bake until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs, 30–35 minutes. Cool the brownies for 1 hour and then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
8. 8
   To decorate, dip a fluffy brush, like a blush brush, into gold luster dust and tap the brush with your hand over the cooled brownies.
