How to Make Amy P S Black Bottom Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Mix until well combined. Gently fold in 1 cup chocolate chips.
  3. In a separate large bowl, prepare your brownie batter according to your favorite recipe (or use a box mix) ensuring to obtain approximately 3 cups of batter.
  4. Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the brownie batter, swirling gently with a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow the brownies to set and the flavors to meld.
  8. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
