Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 g unsalted butter
- 200 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 50 g brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 130 g all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 225 g cream cheese, softened
- 50 g powdered sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 tbsp cherry preserves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the egg yolk and beat until combined.
Dollop the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter in several large spoonfuls. Add small dollops of cherry preserves on top of the cream cheese mixture.
Use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the cream cheese and cherry preserves into the brownie batter to create a marbled effect. Do not overdo it; a few swirls are enough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment overhang and cut into 12 squares.
Serve and enjoy your Marbled Cherry Brownies!
