Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 180 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 130 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 200 grams cream cheese
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cream cheese mixture)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9-inch (23x23-cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals. Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
Whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Pour 3/4 of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula. Dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the batter, followed by dollops of the remaining brownie batter.
Step 8
Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the brownie and cream cheese mixtures together, creating a marbled effect.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies fudgy.
Step 10
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out, then slice into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
