Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 225 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for cream cheese mixture)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well to combine. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar until fully incorporated. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt together. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Pour approximately two-thirds of the chocolate brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Add dollops of the cream cheese mixture on top, followed by dollops of the remaining brownie batter.
Use a butter knife to swirl the batters together gently, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix to preserve the distinct swirls.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Slice into 12 squares and serve.
