How to Make Cj's Evil Cream Cheese Brownies
- **Chocolate Batter:** Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- In a large bowl, beat 4 large eggs until light and foamy.
- Gradually add 2 cups granulated sugar to the beaten eggs, beating on medium speed until fully incorporated.
- Continue beating at medium-high speed until the mixture is thick and pale yellow, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and the melted chocolate mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- **Cream Cheese Batter:** In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter (softened), ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- **Assemble the Brownies:** Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan. Pour half of the chocolate batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Spread the cream cheese batter evenly over the chocolate layer.
- Spoon the remaining chocolate batter over the cream cheese layer.
- Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the batters together to create a marble effect.
- **Bake:** Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- **Cool:** Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.
