Frozen Cream Cheese Brownies From The Fat Witch Ba Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Lightly grease a square 8X8-inch pan.
• To make the cream cheese layer, put the cream cheese in a mixer bowl and mix with the paddle attachment until it's smooth.
• Add the rest of the cream cheese layer ingredients, beating well and scraping down and of the batter that dares try to escape up the sides of the bowl.
• To make the brownie layer, melt the butter and the chocolate together until smoothly melted.
• Put aside and let come to room temperature.
• Be patient, it's worth it.
• In a separate bowl from the cream cheese mixture, mix the eggs and the sugar until it's thick and a gorgeous lemon color.
• Add the chocolate mixture and mix well until combined.
• Again, scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add the flour, vanilla, baking powder, salt and the chocolate chips, mix well until combined.
• Pour half the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan.
• Dollop the cream cheese mixture over that.
• Don't worry if it doesn't cover the chocolate. It won't.
• Add the remaining chocolate mixture.
• Take a knife and gently draw it through the batters, from left to right and from top to bottom, making a checkerboard pattern.
• Don't allow the mixtures to combine, be careful.
• Sprinkle with the nuts.
• Bake in the oven until the sides, but not the tops, begin to brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
• Don't wait until a tester comes out clean, if you do then you have overbaked and basically murdered the brownies.
• Set aside to cool for about 10 minutes, cut into 12 or 16 brownies, cover and refrigerate.

Steps:

• Make the cream cheese swirl:
• Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Add egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
• Make the brownies:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter baking pan and line with 2 overlapping layers of parchment, leaving a 2" overhang on all sides. Butter parchment.
• Whisk cornstarch, cocoa powder, coffee, and salt in a small bowl.
• Combine chocolate and 6 Tbsp. butter in a large heatproof bowl set over a pot of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally, until butter and chocolate are melted and smooth. Remove from heat, then stir in sugar and vanilla. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, then whisk in cornstarch mixture until smooth, about 1 minute.
• Transfer batter to prepared pan. Dollop cream cheese mixture over batter, then swirl into batter with a knife or spatula.
• Bake brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 30 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool completely. Using parchment overhang, transfer brownies to a cutting board. Cut into 4 pieces lengthwise, then 4 pieces crosswise to make 16 bars.
• Do Ahead
• Brownies can be made 3 days ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Steps:

• Set oven to 325 degrees F.
• Prepare a 13 x 9-inch baking pan that has been coated with nonstick spray.
• In a large bowl combine 2 cups sugar with flour, 3/4 cup sifted baking cocoa and salt.
• Stir in applesauce, egg substitute and vanilla; mix well.
• Pour about half batter into prepared baking pan.
• In another mixing bowl combine all filling ingredients; beat until smooth.
• Drop by tablespoonfuls onto batter.
• Spoon the remaining batter over the top; cut through the batter using a knife to swirl through the batter.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until edges are firm and center is almost set.
• Cool on a wire rack.
• For frosting; in a small bowl combine the frosting ingredients until smooth.
• Spread over brownies.

Steps:

• Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan with butter; dust with flour and tap out the excess; preheat oven to 350°.
• Melt butter and chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring often; set aside to cool.
• Cream the sugar, eggs, and vanilla together; add in the cooled chocolate mixture; mix until well blended.
• Measure the flour and salt; then sift together directly into the chocolate mixture.
• Mix batter gently until well combined and no trace of dry ingredients remains.
• *At this point, stir in any extras like walnuts.
• Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan; bake 33 minutes or until toothpick tests done (clean or with only crumbs, no batter).
• Remove from oven and cool on a rack for 1 hour; cut just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9x13 cake pan.
• For the brownies: Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside, reserving 2 Tablespoons for topping.
• Melt the chocolate, butter and half the vanilla over a double boiler or in the microwave. Let cool to room temperature.
• Prepare Topping: Cream butter with the light cream cheese, gradually adding the sugar. Blend in egg substitute, the reserved flour mixture (2 Tablespoons) and vanilla. Set aside.
• Continue preparing brownies: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and egg whites with the sugar and splenda until very light and fluffy.
• Fold in the chocolate mixture, followed by the flour mixture and nuts, if using.
• Pour the mixture into prepared pan.
• Spoon the cream cheese topping in long lines, then using a knife swirl the batters together. Don't over swirl!
• Bake for 30 minutes (25 if you like them fudgy like I do). Let cool completely before cutting.
