Ingredients
Brownie Base
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped
- 1 ounces unsweetened chocolate chopped
- 1/2 cup salted butter cut into chunks
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips for sprinkling over the top of the brownies
Cream Cheese Swirl
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with a parchment paper sling.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and butter. Heat in the microwave using short 20 second bursts for 60-90 seconds, stirring between each burst of heat until both are melted and smooth.
- Whisk in the sugars until combined. Add eggs, vanilla, and salt. Whisk well until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the flour just until combined using a spatula or wooden spoon. Transfer most of the brownie batter to the prepared pan, reserved about 3/4 cup.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla and beat again until combined.
- Dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter, then fill in the space between the cream cheese filling with spoonfuls of the reserved brownie batter. Use a skewer or knife to swirl the cream cheese mixure into the brownies.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the brownies. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the brownies comes out with only a few crumbs on it. Cool the brownies for at least 2 hours before cutting. We find it much easier to chill completely first before slicing into squares.
- Store leftover brownies in the refrigerator and serve chilled or let them sit out on the counter for an hour to come to room temperature before serving.
Notes
- 8x8-inch pan: If using an 8x8-inch pan, increase the bake time to around 40 minutes.
