How to Make Ricotta Filled Brownie Squares

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the melted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth.
  8. Spread half of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  9. Spoon the ricotta mixture over the batter, spreading it evenly.
  10. Top with the remaining brownie batter, spreading to cover the ricotta layer.
  11. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  12. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
