Servings:
Ingredients
Chocolate Brownies
- 3/4 cup (170 gr) unsalted butter
- 3.5 oz (100 gr) bitter sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup (50 gr) cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (100 gr) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 gr) light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup (120 gr) all-purpose flour
Cream Cheese
- 8.8 oz (250 gr) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (50 gr) granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Chocolate Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350F/180°C. Grease an 8x8-inch/20x20cm pan and line the bottom and the side with parchment paper. Have a few inches of overhang on either side to make the removal of the baked brownies easier.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter completely. Turn off the heat and add chopped chocolate and sifted cocoa powder. Stir until smooth and silky. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Sift in all-purpose flour and salt into the batter and whisk until well incorporated.
- Whisk in the chocolate mixture into the batter until well incorporated.
- Pour the chocolate brownies batter into the prepared pan, leaving 3-4 tablespoons for the swirl on the top.
Cream Cheese
- In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract with an electric beater until creamy and smooth.
- Gently pour the cream cheese batter onto the chocolate brownies batter by spoonfuls.
- Drop small dollops of remaining chocolate brownies batter on cream cheese batter. Using a toothpick or chopstick, swirl the top, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few fudgy crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.
Notes
For clean-cut, refrigerate the brownies until chilled for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving.
