Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray. Line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Slowly stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
Sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold everything together until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool completely in the pan.
While the brownies cool, prepare the cream cheese layer. In a medium-sized bowl, beat the softened cream cheese together with powdered sugar until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup of the heavy cream and continue beating until fluffy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled brownies and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
For the chocolate ganache, heat the remaining 0.5 cups of heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Spread the ganache over the cream cheese layer evenly with a spatula. Return the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until fully set.
Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your Brownie Delight!
