Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin puree
- 1 piece Egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch 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 increments, stirring after each interval until smooth. Let cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Set the batter aside.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, egg yolk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, and mix until well combined.
Spread about two-thirds of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Spoon the pumpkin cream cheese mixture over the batter, and then dollop the remaining brownie batter on top.
Use a knife or skewer to swirl the brownie batter and pumpkin mixture together, creating a marbled effect.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs (no raw batter).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out by the parchment paper overhang. Slice into squares and serve.
