Ingredients
- 120 g unsalted butter
- 170 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 100 g brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 95 g all-purpose flour
- 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 225 g cream cheese
- 1 tbsp instant espresso powder
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 50 g powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 4
Gradually stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully incorporated.
Step 5
Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt in another bowl, then fold them into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Pour about three-quarters of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and instant espresso powder, mixing until well incorporated and creamy.
Step 8
Dollop the cream cheese mixture over the brownie base in the pan, then spoon the remaining brownie batter on top. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the two together gently, creating a marbled effect.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
Step 10
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Slice into squares and serve.
