How to Make Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan (or adjust baking time as noted in recipe adaptation below).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Spread half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan.
- Dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter.
- Swirl the cream cheese mixture into the brownie batter using a knife or toothpick.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the cream cheese mixture and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes (for a 9x13 inch pan), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. If using a 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 inch pan, bake for 35-40 minutes, or until set in the middle. Do not overbake!
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.
