MARBLED BROWNIES



Marbled Brownies image

These can be done without the cream cheese marble as well.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield about 24 (2-inch) brownies

Number Of Ingredients 12

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

Steps:

  • 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.

MARBLED CHOCOLATE BROWNIES



Marbled chocolate brownies image

Why have one chocolate when you can have two? Go for all-out luxury with these gooey, moreish marbled brownies

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Afternoon tea, Buffet, Dessert, Snack, Treat

Time 40m

Yield Cuts into 16 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 6

200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
200g white chocolate (we used Green & Black's)
250g pack unsalted butter , cut into cubes
300g golden caster sugar
4 eggs , beaten
140g plain flour

Steps:

  • Butter and line a 23cm square brownie tin (or a similar size rectangular tin) and heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Put the dark and white chocolates into two separate large bowls and add half of the butter to each. One bowl at a time, heat in the microwave on High for 1½ mins, stirring halfway, until the chocolate and butter are both melted. Alternatively, melt over a pan of simmering water (making sure the water doesn't touch the base of the bowl). Stir until the chocolate and butter are totally incorporated.
  • Add 150g sugar and 2 beaten eggs to each bowl, then beat until smooth. Now stir 50g of the flour into the dark chocolate mix and the remaining 90g into the white mix.
  • Spoon tbsps of the batter into the tin, alternating dark and white chocolate to make a patchwork pattern of blobs. Once the bottom of the tin is covered, go over the first layer, spooning white on top of the dark blobs and dark on top of the white. To marble the brownies, pull a skewer through the pan several times to make feathery swirls.
  • Bake for 35 mins or until the middle of the brownie is just set and the white chocolate patches on top have a pale golden crust. Leave to cool completely in the tin before cutting into 16 squares. Will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.

1/2 cup unsifted all-purpose flour

  • Blend in 1 egg, 1 Tbs flour, and 1/2 tsp vanilla; set aside.
  • Beat 2 eggs until thick and light in color.
  • Gradually add 3/4 cup of sugar, beating until thickened.
  • Add baking powder, salt, and 1/2 cup of flour.
  • Blend in cooled chocolate mixture and nuts, 1 tsp vanilla and 1/4 tsp almond extract.
  • Spread 1/2 the chocolate batter in a greased 8 or 9-inch square pan.
  • Add cheese mixture, spreading evenly over the chocolate batter.
  • Top with tablespoons of the remaining chocolate batter dotted all over the top of the cream cheese layer.

  • Bake at 350ºF for 35 to 40 minutes, or until top springs back when lightly pressed in the center.
  • Cool cut in bars or squares.
  • Makes 16 to 20.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the ingredients combine more easily and ensure that the brownies bake evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough, dense brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a good quality cocoa powder: This will give the brownies a rich, chocolatey flavor.
  • Do not overbake the brownies: Overbaking can result in dry, crumbly brownies. Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set and prevent them from falling apart.

Marble square brownies are a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. These brownies are sure to impress your friends and family, and they may even become a new favorite recipe.
