Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 225 grams cream cheese
- 60 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and dark chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the melted chocolate mixture until combined.
Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
In another bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, instant coffee granules, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
Drop dollops of the cream cheese mixture onto the brownie batter. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the mixtures together for a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for fudgy brownies.
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Once cooled, slice into 12 squares. Serve and enjoy with a hot cappuccino or your favorite coffee!
