Apricot N’ Chocolate Cream Cheese Brownies Recipe

Ingredients:

3 Tbsps Brandy
3/4 c apricots (dried); coarsely chopped
1/4 c refined sugar
3 1/2 Tbsps butter (unsalted); softened
3/4 c refined sugar
1/4 tsp of salt
1 tsp of vanilla
1/2 c flour (all-purpose); sifted
1/2 tsp of Calumet (baking powder); sifted
1/2 c nuts (walnuts or pecans); chopped
4 oz chocolate (semi-sweet); chopped
5 oz of cream cheese; softened
2 Tbsps butter (unsalted); softened
3 whole eggs

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, settle the apricots then drench over brandy then let it rest for an hour. Whisk butter with the cheese until it becomes smooth then beat continuously while slowly adding the refined sugar until the texture becomes creamy. Beat in one egg then add in apricots with brandy.

Heat up the oven at over 350 degrees. Coat the inside of an 8 inch square baking pan. Over slow flame, melt the butter. Once half melted, drop the semi-sweet chocolates.

Turn off heat once the mixture is well incorporated. In another bowl, whisk the 2 eggs till it becomes foamy and light then slowly add 3/4 cup of refined sugar while beating continuously until the texture becomes thick. Carefully incorporate the butter-chocolate mixture, vanilla extract, all purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and walnuts.

Place 2/3 of batter onto the baking pan. Spread the apricot-cream-cheese mixture above then spread the 1/3 batter over it. Slowly twirl the batter with a thin rod. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until the brownie bounces back when pressed gently. Chill before serving.
