How to Make Cream Cheese Filled Light Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
- **Make the Cream Cheese Filling:** In a food processor or large bowl using an electric mixer, beat together 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Set the cream cheese filling aside.
- **Make the Brownie Batter:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream, 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil, 1 large whole egg, and 1 large egg white.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan.
- Spoon the cream cheese filling evenly over the batter.
- Spread the filling using a wet knife or offset spatula.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the filling.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake!
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.
