Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 units Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.33 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for cream cheese mixture)
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until smooth and glossy.
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Set the brownie batter aside.
Step 5
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until fully combined and creamy.
Step 6
Spread about 2/3 of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the batter, then dollop the remaining brownie batter on top.
Step 7
Use a butter knife to gently swirl the cream cheese mixture and brownie batter together, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 8
Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top of the swirled batter.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Serve and enjoy!
