Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 170 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 95 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 225 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 50 grams Granulated sugar (for cream cheese layer)
- 1 pieces Large egg (for cream cheese layer)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for cream cheese layer)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Stir the granulated sugar into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Mix in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 50 grams of granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
Pour three-quarters of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it into an even layer.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the brownie layer, spreading it evenly.
Dollop the remaining brownie batter on top of the cream cheese layer and use a knife or toothpick to swirl the brownie and cream cheese layers together for a marbled effect.
Bake the brownies for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares and serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
