Nutella Brownies Recipe
Description
This Nutella Brownies Recipe starts by melting butter and semisweet chocolate together, which are mixed with sugar, vanilla, and eggs to form a smooth, rich brownie batter. The addition of cocoa powder enhances the chocolate taste, while flour, salt, and baking powder provide the structure needed for fudgy brownies. After baking a short time, a cheesecake layer made from cream cheese, sugar, flour, eggs, cream, sour cream, vanilla, and Nutella is poured over the partially baked brownies, adding a creamy texture and hazelnut flavor.
Once the cheesecake layer is spread evenly, the layered dessert returns to the oven to finish baking. The recipe finishes with a warm drizzle of Nutella on top, adding extra richness and a glossy finish. The final brownies have a dense chocolate base contrasted by a smooth cheesecake topping with Nutella, offering a harmonious flavor and textural contrast.
This recipe fits well as a rich dessert or special treat. It can be sliced into squares for serving, pairing nicely with milk or coffee.
Ingredients
Brownies
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate chopped
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 egg
- ½ cup flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
Cheesecake Layer
- 6 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ⅓ cup Nutella
Topping
- 3 tablespoons Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9 x 9 baking dish with parchment paper.
- Add butter and semisweet chocolate to a saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar and vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring after each addition.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder, and mix until just combined. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- While the brownie batter is baking, make the cheesecake mixture by beating the cream cheese with the sugar and flour until well blended.
- Add the egg, heavy cream, sour cream, and vanilla, and mix until well combined. Add the nutella and mix until smooth.
- After the brownie batter has baked for 10 minutes, remove it from the oven and pour the cheesecake mixture over the top of the brownie batter, spreading evenly.
- Heat the 3 tablespoons of Nutella in the microwave until warmed (about 30 seconds). Drizzle the Nutella over the top of the cheesecake mixture, and use a toothpick to swirl it throughout the batter.
- Bake 35-40 minutes, until the cheesecake is set and only jiggles slightly when the pan is shaken gently. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
