Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies
Every once in a while a recipe is so good it deserves a second shot in the spotlight!
So I thought it was a good time to share this recipe for Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies.
If you are looking for a decadent and delicious brownie recipe, this is it!
Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies
(Adapted from Hobbie Lobbie)
The Brownie
1 1/2 cups butter
2 1/4 cups sugar
5 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup + 1 tbsp flour
3/4 cup + 1 tbsp cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup chocolate chips
- In a saucepan on low heat, melt together the butter and sugar. Then transfer the mixture into a mixing bowl, and set aside to cool.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder and salt.
- Once the sugar mix has cooled slightly, add the eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry. Mix well.
- Add chocolate chips. Set aside.
- Now on to the cream cheese mix…
The Cream Cheese Swirl
8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg yolk
- Beat together cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and egg yolk, until well combined.
- Once you have the brownie mix all ready, add half of the batter to a lightly greased & dusted dish (see Tips! for dish dusting).
- Then add half of the cream cheese mix in clumps over your brownie.
- Using a knife, swirl the cream cheese mix, until you have a marbling effect like above.
- Then add the remaining brownie batter.
- Then add the remaining cream cheese batter in clumps, and swirl again.
- Bake in a 325 degree preheated oven for approximately 1 hour. The square will be done when the edges of the brownie have puffed, the centre of the cake feels firm to the touch, and a toothpick when inserted comes out clean. Just check it for doneness, as you may need to bake it longer…
- When the cake is done, remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours.
Tip!
- Use cocoa powder instead of flour to dust your pan! That way, you won’t see the flour on your brownies!
- Serve on it’s own, or with ice cream! Yum!
I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!
