Cream Cheese Brownies image

I've had this recipe for a couple of years, now, but oddly enough, haven't tried it. I should though, because I love brownies, but this sounds so decadent because of the cream cheese.

Time 45m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces semisweet chocolate
6 1/2 ounces butter
5 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
6 ounces cream cheese
2 cups sugar
6 eggs
1 cup fresh walnuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 9 by 13 inch (3L) cake pan
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt, set aside.
  • Melt the chocolate, half the butter and half the vanilla over a double boiler or in the microwave, and let it cool to room temperature.
  • Cream the remaining butter with the cream cheese, gradually adding in 1/2 cup of the sugar. Blend in two eggs, two tablespoons flour mixture and the rest of the vanilla. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the remaining four eggs with the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar until very light and fluffy.
  • Fold in the chocolate mixture, followed by the dry ingredients and nuts, if using.
  • Por the mixture into the pan, and spread into the corners.
  • Spoon the cream cheese mixture in long lines, then using a knife or a toothpick swirl the batters together (do not over swirl or the cream cheese brownies will become leaden and beige).
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or for fudgier brownies no more than 25 minutes. Let cool completely before slicing.
