Oh my God! I dont know about you but I did not know about cream cheese brownies until today and boy was it a revelation or what! I am hooked and I dont think I can go back to normal brownies anymore. The saltiness of cream cheese breaking out through the intense taste of sinfully dark cocoa is, well, indescribable. You have to taste it to believe it. If you are a fan of cheese and fan of chocolate like I am, then this one is for you. I had even hardcore cream cheese haters reaching out for seconds. I can't say more, except..yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
Here is what you need,
Here is what you need,
- About 6 overflowing teaspoons of cream cheese/cheese spread
- 100 grams of milk chocolate
- 75 grams of cocoa powder
- 1/2cup of flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- one stick of butter
(Gosh, my measures are all over the place. But I swear, I will get better soon! )
Method:
- In a saucepan,over medium heat, melt together the butter and chocolate.
- Then take it off the heat and while still hot, stir in the cocoa powder and leave it to cool.
- In another bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar.
- Then beat in the chocolate mix to it. Combine well.
- Now slowly sift in the flour and continue to beat the mixture until everything has combined well.
- In your brownie tray lined with foil, pour in half of the batter.
- Then spoon in the cream cheese equidistantly.
- Pour the remaining batter.
- Now bake the brownies for about 20 minutes in oven preheated to 170 degree Celsius, until a toothpick when inserted comes out with little gooey mix on it.
- Leave the brownies to cool and then leave it in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes.
- Cut into squares and prepare to be absolutely floored by it! (or so I hope!)
