Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies

Recipe #346913 | 55 min | 25 min prep | add private note

The most perfect brownie recipe I have ever made. They're soft, yet sturdy and the perfect amount of chocolate- not to sweet or rich... just right. And, wonderful presentation, too! I would be proud to serve these to company any day!! One warning, the pan size specified is uncommon and not one that I own. I use a 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 pan and bake them for 35-40 minutes. They are done when set in the middle- do not let get brown on top.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, and one egg in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. 2
    Mix butter, water, and cocoa in a saucepan and heat until butter is melted. Watch carefully- do not overcook chocolate!
  3. 3
    In another bowl, combine flour, remaining 2 cups sugar, soda, salt, vanilla, 2 eggs, and sour cream.
  4. 4
    Beat chocolate sauce into flour mixture and spread into a greased and floured 17 1/2" x 11" pan. Spoon cream cheese mixture over the chocolate and swirl with a knife to make a marbled effect. Do not over mix.
  5. 5
    Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top.
  6. 6
    Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes or until the center is set.

I baked these brownies this morning and may I say that the brownies are "to die for." Very moist and cake-like. I did however forget the chocolate chips, Duh to me. I used a 16" by 10" pan and baked for 30 minutes. I got 40 brownies from this size pan. One thing I did was to put small dollups everywhere so that the cream cheese was everywhere. Even the on the edges and corners. You gotta have the cream cheese mixture in every sinful bite. Thank you Munchkin Mama for posting the recipe.

    I made these for my mother-in-law for mother's day. She liked them, father-in-law loved them, hubby and I thought they were ok. I thought they would have been better with a little more cream cheese or a little less brownie, as the edges that didn't get cream cheese on top were kind of dry and spongy. Otherwise a good recipe.

    Delightfully delicious!! Always on the look out for something different incorporating chocolate and I couldn't pass up this recipe, which turned out wonderful. Followed the recipe exactly except for milk chocolate morsels, only had semi-sweet on hand. Beautiful presentation. Thank you for such a tasty recipe!
