Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 0.33 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake swirl)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Stir granulated sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract (for the cheesecake swirl) until smooth and creamy.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture onto the brownie batter. Use a skewer or butter knife to create swirls, forming a tiger stripe pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for fudgy brownies.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out, then slice into 16 squares.
Serve and enjoy your gorgeous Tiger Striped Brownies!
