Είπα στον εαυτό μου ότι δεν θα δημοσίευα αυτή τη συνταγή μέχρι τον Σεπτέμβριο, την πρώτη βροχερή και μουντή μέρα του Φθινοπώρου. Αλλά δεν μπόρεσα να κάνω αλλιώς. Μου φαίνεται ότι και ΕΣΕΙΣ ΧΡΕΙΑΖΕΣΤΕ αυτή τη συνταγή όσο και εγώ, ακόμα και μια ζεστή μέρα. Εξάλλου, τα brownies είναι η καλύτερη δικαιολογία για μια τεράστια μπάλα παγωτό βανίλια.
Είναι υπέροχα! Υγρό, μαλακό, κρεμώδες, σοκολατένιο, όπως ακριβώς πρέπει να είναι ένα brownie. Η προσθήκη του ξύσματος πορτοκαλιού στο μείγμα τυριού κρέμας τους δίνει αυτήν την επιπλέον ” ένταση “.
The creamiest, fudgiest cream cheese Brownies
These are gorgeous! Fudgy,soft, creamy, chocolatey, everything a brownie should be. The addition of orange zest in the cream cheese mixture gives them that extra “zing”.
ΥΛΙΚΑ
For the brownie base
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams semisweet chocolate, I use Cadburys Bournville
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1 cup + 3 Tbs sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100 grams Philadelphia style cream cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
For the cream cheese layer
- 200 grams cream cheese
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp orange zest, optional
ΜΕΘΟΔΟΣ ΕΚΤΕΛΕΣΗΣ
- Preheat oven to 160˚ C. Line the base and sides of a 22 x 22 square brownie pan, with greaseproof paper.
- Melt butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth. Mix in cocoa and stir to dissolve. Transfer mixture in a whisking bowl.
- Whisk in the sugar. Add eggs one at a time, whisking until incorporated. Add vanilla and cheese. Whisk again until mixture is smooth. Sift flour directly into bowl. Stir with a spatula until flour is mixed.
- Set aside about ½ cup of the brownie mixture. Spread the remaining in the prepared brownie pan.
- Mix cream cheese and sugar in a bowl. Add egg, vanilla and orange zest if using. Whisk until smooth.
- Spread cream cheese mixture over the brownie mixture. Spread with a small off set spatula until the entire surface of the brownie base is covered. Spoon small blobs of the reserved brownie mixture over the cream cheese mixture. Using a wooden skewer make swirls, mixing the blobs with the cream cheese mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes. Brownie will rise but will sink as it cools. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
