Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients as required — typically vegetable oil, water, and eggs)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line an 8×8 square baking dish with parchment paper.
- Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, but reserve ½ cup of the batter for later.
- Beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the egg into the mix and stir gently until just combined.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie layer.
- Thin out the reserved brownie batter with a tablespoon of water and dollop it on top.
- Swirl the two mixtures together with a knife to create marbled patterns.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely before lifting out using parchment paper and cutting into squares.
Notes
Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting for clean squares. Consider topping with chocolate chips or nuts before baking.
