Viewed: 40 - Published at: 6 years agoIngredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
- 3 ounces finely chopped semisweet chocolate
- 3 ounces finely chopped unsweetened chocolate
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon fine salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (the microwave for 45 seconds at 50 percent power is a great way to do this)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Method
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, so that the edges of the paper come up the sides.
- Lightly butter the paper.
- Put both the semisweet and unsweetened chocolates and the butter in a heatproof medium bowl.
- Fill a medium saucepan with a couple inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Turn off the heat; set the bowl of chocolate over the water to melt.
- Whisk until smooth.
- (Alternatively, melt in a microwave at half power, for 1 minute, stir and then heat for another minute or until melted.)
- Whisk the flour and salt in a bowl.
- In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla.
- Stir the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix until just blended.
- Take care not to over mix the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
- For the marble swirl: Whisk the cream cheese with the sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
- Drop very large spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture onto the surface of the brownie batter.
- Insert a butter knife through the batter to the bottom of the pan.
- With the flat edge of the knife, make swirling motions through the batters, occasionally lifting the knife through the top, until the dark and light batters are marbled.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out coated with a fudge-y crumb, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Cool the brownies in the pan on a rack.
- To take the brownies out of the pan, lift the edges of the paper.
- Cut the brownies into squares.
- Serve.
