Ingredients
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more for pan
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room-temperature
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-inch square baking pan with butter. Line bottom and two sides with a strip of parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two sides. Butter paper, and set pan aside. In a small bowl, whisk 1 cup flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
Place 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter and chocolate in a large heat-proof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of gently simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes; remove bowl from pan. Add 1 1/4 cups sugar; mix to combine. Add 3 eggs, and mix to combine. Add flour and cocoa mixture; mix just until moistened (do not overmix).
Prepare cream-cheese mixture: Whisk cream cheese with 2 tablespoons room-temperature butter. Whisk in 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. Alternately spoon chocolate batter and cream-cheese mixture into pan; with the tip of a paring knife, swirl to marble.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool in pan for 30 minutes. Using paper overhang, lift brownies out of pan; transfer to a rack to cool completely (still on paper). On a cutting board, using a dampened serrated knife, cut into 16 squares.

I've made this recipe twice and they both received rave reviews! They also look attractive as well. Just a side note though, 4ounces of cream cheese will not be enough! I always use 8ounces of them.

Worst brownie recipe ever. They are more like cake than brownie, but not even a good cake since it was dense and crumbly. Will not make again.

Just made these brownies today, and I'm impartial to how they turned out. They look gorgeous, and I was pleased as I pulled them out of the oven. However, they were browned a little too much (on the cream cheese swirls). The flavour was nice, but the texture was much more like a cake than brownie. I was hoping for more of a gooey, dense dessert, but all in all, I'm not complaining. A few adjustments would make this a killer recipe next time I give it a shot.

Who write this recipe? I had to rewrite it myself so it makes sense before I even start! Realized I'm not alone by reading the other reviews. We'll see how they turn out.....

The brownie layer was very delicious!! However the cream cheese layer was too thin and got slightly burnt around the edges. Should have used 8oz cream cheese...

This recipe is not written well, when you mix the cocoa with the flour mixture and then in number two they tell you to put in 1 cup of flour, this cocoa mixture is the mixture you need to put in, it is more than a cup but it works out fine. It was really moist and tasty but more like a cross between a bar cookie and a cake than a brownie. I

End of Step 2 should read: "Add 1 cup of the FLOUR-COCOA MIXTURE, mix until mioistened." I followed the recipe and ended up with a bowl of flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt STILL set aside (from step 1) since Step 2 asked for "1 cup all-purpose flour". And I was left with a mixed chocolate batter without baking powder and salt.

Proofreading needed indeed. End of Step 1 should read: "In a small bowl, whisk 1 CUP of flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; set aside." Without specifying 1 cup, I added all of the flour (1 cup plus 2 tbsp) to my cocoa not knowing the 2 tbsp is intended for the cream cheese portion of the batter.

This recipe needs proofreading. Step 3 describes how to put the two batters in the pan. Step 4 says to transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Huh? It doesn't seem feasible that two pans are involved.
