Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 6 ounces cream cheese
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 18 ounces brownie mix
- 3 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Soften the cream cheese and butter by warming them in the microwave for a few seconds.
- Beat together the cream cheese, butter, and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, flour, and vanilla into the butter mixture and mix until smooth.
- Prepare brownie batter according to the package directions for cake-like brownies.
- Grease a 13 X 9-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the pan.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter.
- Pour the remaining half of the brownie batter on top.
- Swirl the cream cheese layer into the brownie layer.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. It is best to err on the side of the brownies to be a little underdone, as they are nice and gooey then.
- Cool the brownies in the pan on a wire rack.
- Cut the brownies into squares and remove them from the pan. If you are frosting the brownies, frost them before cutting into squares.
