Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F/ 180°C. Grease and line the baking tin.
  2. Melt chocolate and butter: Finely chop the chocolate and cut the butter into cubes. Place them in a heatproof bowl over a pan of water. Heat the water and melt the mixture, frequently stirring, until both fully melt. Be careful to ensure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Keep the water hot, but avoid bringing it to a boil. If it starts to simmer, remove the pan from heat and continue stirring the chocolate and butter off the heat until smooth. Set aside while you prepare the rest.7 oz chocolate / 200 g + ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons unsalted butter / 200 g
  3. Chocolate batter: In another bowl, whisk the sugar with 3 eggs until well combined. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture, whisking thoroughly to blend everything. Sift the flour over the mixture and gently fold it until fully incorporated.1 cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar / 225 + 3 large eggs + chocolate mixture + 1 cup all-purpose flour / 125 g
  4. Cream cheese mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until the mixture becomes creamy. Set aside.1 ¾ cup Philadelphia cream cheese / 14 oz/ 400 g + ⅔ cup granulated sugar / 125 g + 1 teaspoon vanilla extract + 2 large eggs
  5. Assemble the brownies: Pour about ¾ of the chocolate batter into a prepared baking pan, smoothing it out evenly. Carefully pour or spoon the cream cheese mixture over the top.
  6. Marble the batter: Using a skewer, swirl the chocolate batter and cream cheese together to create a marbled effect.
  7. Bake the Philadelphia brownies for 35–40 minutes or until the center is just set.
