Cream
Cheese Brownies is fudge brownies with layer of cream cheese within. This brownies
is selected as Bake-Along #58 theme. Zoe’s cream cheese brownies version gave
me idea how to bake with some little leftover cream cheese in my fridge.

Cream
Cheese Brownies
Ingredients:
(A)
2oz
(56g) bittersweet chocolate
56g
butter
(B)
1
large egg
30g
sugar
½
teaspoon vanilla extract
20g
plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Pinch
of salt
50g
cold cream cheese
Method:
1.
Melt the chocolate and butter over medium-to-low heat in a heavy-based
saucepan.
2.
While you're waiting for it to melt, idly beat the eggs in a bowl with the
sugar and vanilla. Measure the flour into another bowl and add the salt.
3.
When the chocolate mixture has all but completely melted, take the pan off the
heat. The bits of unmelted chocolate or butter will continue to dissolve if
left. Leave for a bit longer to cool slightly before beating in the eggs and
sugar. Finally, add the flour and beat until smooth.
4.
Pour half the mixture into the pan, slice the cream cheese as thinly as you can
and top the brownie mixture in the pan with these thin slices. Pour over the
remaining half of brownie-gunge, using a rubber spatula or whatever to make
sure each bit of cheese is covered. Then put in the oven and bake for about 20
minutes : the top should be slightly paled and dry, but a cake tester poked
within should reveal a still-sticky center. Cool for about 10 minutes before
cutting into little squares.
*I
bake mine at 170C for 13 minutes.

ReplyDeleteHi Vivian. The brownies was so neatly cut and could cube cream cheese, sandwiching between the brownies stands out so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi Viv,
ReplyDeleteTotally agree that this recipe is helping us to use up strange minimal amount of cream cheese. Yours look very cute with little squares of hidden cream cheese :D
