Brownies with Cream Cheese Swirl Recipe

Ingredients:

3 oz of cream cheese; softened
2 Tbsps of butter (unsalted); softened
1 fresh egg (large)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Tbsp flour (all purpose); sifted
1/4 c refined sugar
6 oz of chopped baking chocolate (sweet, Baker’s German’s)
3 Tbsps butter (unsalted); softened
2 fresh eggs (large)
1/2 c refined sugar
1/2 c flour (all purpose); sifted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder; sifted
1/4 teaspoon of almond extract
1 c choco chips (semisweet)
1/4 c nuts (walnuts); chopped
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat the oven up to 350 degrees F. Grease up an 8 inch square non-stick pan. Beat the butter with the cream cheese inside a mixing bowl with an automatic mixer. Wait till it becomes fluffy and light then slowly add the sugar then beat well.

Add in the egg and blend well. Add in the vanilla and flour. Set aside. Whisk butter and chocolate in a saucepan atop a low flame.

Remove from heat once it becomes smooth. Allow it to cool. In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with the use of an automatic mixer until it becomes a little thick. Add in the baking flour, soda plus salt.

Bring in the chocolate mix and add the vanilla extract and almond extract. Add the walnuts and choco chips. Stir.

Pour into the non-stick pan 1/2 of the choco batter. Spread over the cream cheese mix over the choco batter. Scoop the remaining choco batter atop the cream cheese mix. Then gently twirl through the batter using a thin rod to make a marbled design.

Finally, bake for at least 30-35 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the cake would come out clean. Allow it to cool. Cut to bars.
