CREAM CHEESE SWIRL BROWNIES



Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies image

The most perfect brownie recipe I have ever made. They're soft, yet sturdy and the perfect amount of chocolate- not to sweet or rich... just right. And, wonderful presentation, too! I would be proud to serve these to company any day!! One warning, the pan size specified is uncommon and not one that I own. I use a 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 pan and bake them for 35-40 minutes. They are done when set in the middle- do not let get brown on top.

This is a terrific way to dress up a brownie mix. I must confess, instead of topping it with chocolate chips I topped it with peanut butter cups. MMM! Recipe courtesy of www.bettycrocker.com. Tip: To soften cream cheese, microwave for 10 to 15 seconds in a microwavable bowl on high.

BROWNIES WITH CREAM CHEESE SWIRL



Brownies with Cream Cheese Swirl image

Provided by George Panagos

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 19

For swirl
3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For brownies
6 ounces sweet baking chocolate (such as Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate), chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Make swirl
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly butter 8-inch square nonstick baking pan. Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese and butter in medium bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar and beat until well blended. Beat in egg. Mix in flour and vanilla. Set mixture aside.
  • Make brownies
  • Stir baking chocolate and butter in heavy small saucepan over low heat until smooth. Cool slightly. Using electric mixer, beat sugar and eggs in large bowl until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Mix in flour, baking powder and salt. Mix in chocolate mixture and extracts. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
  • Spread half of chocolate batter (about 1 1/4 cups) in prepared pan. Using rubber spatula, spread cream cheese mixture over chocolate batter. Spoon remaining chocolate batter over top of cream cheese mixture. Using tip of knife, gently swirl through batter, forming marble design. Bake brownies until tester inserted into center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 30 minutes. Cool brownies in pan on rack. Cut into squares.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. This will result in a richer, more flavorful brownie.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will make the brownies dry.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These brownies are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect brownies every time.
