Cream Cheese Brownies
Deliciously rich and fudgy brownies with a tangy cream cheese swirl.
Ingredients
For the Brownies
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
For the Cream Cheese Swirl
- 8 ounce cream cheese softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar. Add cocoa powder and vanilla extract, mix until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the flour and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter. Swirl gently with a knife.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the cream cheese layer. Swirl again gently.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
For an extra rich flavor, use good quality cocoa powder. Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth swirl.
