Ingredients to Make Cream Cheese Brownies:

Brownie Batter:

7 oz semisweet chocolate
1 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp almond extract
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup espresso
2/3 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
4 eggs

Cream Cheese Mixture:

Step 1: Prepare the cream cheese

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a baking pan and line with parchment paper.

Using a hand mixer, whip cream cheese then add sugar, orange juice, and orange zest. Mix the egg until smooth and thick then set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the flour mixture

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt.

Step 3: Melt the chocolate

Combine and melt together the chocolate and butter in a double boiler or a medium bowl over a bain-marie. Stir occasionally until thick and smooth. Remove from heat and mix in the sugar.

Step 4: Add the eggs

Add the eggs one at a time and whisk until well-incorporated. Add 1/4 cup of espresso, 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix well.

Step 5: Add the flour mixture

Slowly add your prepared flour mixture and mix until well combined.

Step 6: Pour the chocolate batter into the pan

Pour the chocolate batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread evenly until the parchment paper is completely covered. Reserve about ¾ cup of chocolate batter to use later.

Step 7: Pour the cream cheese

Pour the cream cheese on top of the chocolate batter and spread evenly.

Step 8: Create swirls

Scoop the remaining chocolate batter over the cream cheese and create swirls with a knife.

Step 9: Pop it in the oven

Pop your cream cheese brownies in the oven and bake for 20 to 35 minutes. Let the brownies cool. Cover and place it in the fridge for few hours or overnight.

Step 10: Slice, share, and enjoy!

Slice the cream cheese brownies in squares using a knife, preferably hot. Be careful while handling a knife especially when it’s hot.
