These cream cheese swirl brownies are a delightful combination of rich chocolate and tangy cream cheese. They're perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings with a twist of creaminess.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
  3. Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt to the mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and egg until smooth.
  5. Pour half of the chocolate batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture on top.
  6. Pour the remaining chocolate batter over the cream cheese mixture. Use a knife to swirl the batter to create a marbled effect.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.
