How to Make Orange Cream Cheese Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 13x9-inch rectangular baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) brownie mix, 1/2 cup chocolate syrup, 1/4 cup water, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs. Stir until well blended.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 27-29 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
- While the brownies cool, prepare the cream cheese frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/4 cup orange juice, 4 drops yellow food coloring, and 2 drops red food coloring until smooth and creamy.
- Once the brownies are completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
- For the chocolate drizzle: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon shortening.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cream cheese frosting.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting and drizzle to set.
- Cut into 36 brownies (6 rows x 6 rows).
- Store leftover brownies, covered, in the refrigerator.
