Ingredients
Scale
- 1 8oz package cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the over to 350° F. Grease an 8 inch baking pan (for thicker brownies) or a 9 inch baking pan
- In a mixing bowl beat together the cream cheese, sugar and egg until mixture is smooth. Set aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and the butter and heat in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between heatings, until the chocolate is melted.
- Add the sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, flour, baking powder and salt into the melted chocolate mixture, stir together until everything is well mixed.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the brownie batter. Using a toothpick or a knife, swirl the cream cheese layer and brownie layer together until it looks marbleized.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes (for an 8 inch pan) or 25-30 minutes (for a 9 inch pan), until the edges pull away from the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center of the brownies comes out with just moist crumbs on it. Cool completely and then cut into 12-16 brownies.
