Number Of Ingredients 15

For cheesecake batter
an 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon finely grated fresh orange zest
1 large egg
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
For chocolate batter
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. and butter and flour a 9-inch square baking pan, knocking out excess flour.
  • Make cheesecake batter:
  • In a bowl stir together cream cheese, sugar, and zest with a wooden spoon until smooth. Beat in egg with a fork until blended and stir in flour.
  • Make chocolate batter:
  • In a heavy 1 1/2-quart saucepan melt butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring, until smooth and remove pan from heat. Cool mixture 10 minutes and stir in sugar and vanilla. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well with a wooden spoon until mixture is glossy and smooth. Stir in flour and salt until just combined.
  • Spread chocolate batter evenly in pan. Drop cheesecake batter by large spoonfuls onto chocolate batter and run a knife through batters to make decorative swirls. Bake brownies in middle of oven 50 minutes, or until cheesecake mixture is pale golden and a tester comes out clean. Cool brownies completely in pan on a rack before cutting into 16 squares. Brownies keep, layered between sheets of wax paper in an airtight container and chilled, 5 days. Brownies may be eaten chilled or at room temperature.

I was pleasantly surprised by these brownies. I'm not usually a fan of orange and chocolate together, but these brownies were really good. The orange flavor was subtle and not overpowering, and the cheesecake layer was creamy and delicious.

I've made these brownies twice now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're gooey and chocolatey, with just the right amount of orange zest. I love that I can make them ahead of time and they still taste fresh.
