Yield Makes 16 squares

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • 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.

1/2-1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Lightly grease a square 8X8-inch pan.
  • To make the cream cheese layer, put the cream cheese in a mixer bowl and mix with the paddle attachment until it's smooth.
  • Add the rest of the cream cheese layer ingredients, beating well and scraping down and of the batter that dares try to escape up the sides of the bowl.
  • To make the brownie layer, melt the butter and the chocolate together until smoothly melted.
  • Put aside and let come to room temperature.
  • Be patient, it's worth it.
  • In a separate bowl from the cream cheese mixture, mix the eggs and the sugar until it's thick and a gorgeous lemon color.

  • Add the flour, vanilla, baking powder, salt and the chocolate chips, mix well until combined.

  • Dollop the cream cheese mixture over that.
  • Don't worry if it doesn't cover the chocolate. It won't.
  • Add the remaining chocolate mixture.
  • Take a knife and gently draw it through the batters, from left to right and from top to bottom, making a checkerboard pattern.
  • Don't allow the mixtures to combine, be careful.
  • Sprinkle with the nuts.
  • Bake in the oven until the sides, but not the tops, begin to brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Don't wait until a tester comes out clean, if you do then you have overbaked and basically murdered the brownies.
  • Set aside to cool for about 10 minutes, cut into 12 or 16 brownies, cover and refrigerate.
