Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Mix 1st layer ingredients and pour into a greased or sprayed 9x13 cake pan and set aside.
- Next, mix 2nd layer ingredients and spoon gently over the 1st layer until its covered (this layer can be piped on using a icing bag, I find its easier than spreading).
- Last, using a butter knife, cut into the layers as if you were swirling it to mix it, so that some of the 2nd layer goes close to the bottom of the pan. (I make several "S" shaped strokes).
- Bake Brownies for 35 minutes and turn off the oven, but leave Brownies in the oven for 10 minutes more.
- Remove from the oven and let Brownies cool completely!
- Slice and enjoy.
- These Brownies can be refrigerated for up to a week.
- They are delicious cold and taste like Lemon Cheesecake!

LEMON MOUSSE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES
Very rich with the tang of lemon. Beautiful combination of flavors. I have also used the microwave instead of a double boiler to melt the chocolate and it works just fine. You can also drizzle melted chocolate over top if desired for even more chocolate punch!

Steps:
- Melt 13 oz semi-sweet chocolate and butter together in double boiler.
- Remove from heat.
- In mixing bowl, mix together cream cheese, sugar and eggs.
- Beat until well mixed.
- Add in vanilla, flour, baking powder and salt.
- Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture and mix until smooth.
- Pour into greased 9x12 pan.
- Beat 3 oz cream cheese, lemon juice and sugar until creamy and smooth.
- Continue beating while adding eggs one at a time.
- When well blended, pour over first layer.
- Place 6 oz chocolate and cream together and melt in double boiler.
- Stir until chocolate melts.
- Drizzle over lemon layer.
- Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes.
- Chill.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This helps the ingredients blend together more easily and creates a smoother batter.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense brownie. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly brownies.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This helps them to set and prevents them from falling apart.
- Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Lemon brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual gathering to a special celebration.
