Tools You’ll Need
✔ Mixing bowl
✔ Whisk & spatula
✔ 8×8 inch baking pan
✔ Parchment paper
✔ Microwave or double boiler (for chocolate drizzle)
Step-by-Step Instructions (Explained)
🥣 Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 175°C / 350°F.
Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper. The overhanging edges make it easy to lift brownies out later for cutting.
🥄 Step 2: Make the Brownie Batter
In a bowl, whisk together:
- Melted butter
- Sugar
Add:
- Eggs (one at a time)
- Vanilla
Whisk until smooth.
Now fold in:
- Flour
- Cocoa powder
- Salt
Mix until just combined — don’t overmix to keep brownies fudgy.
🧀 Step 3: Make the Cream Cheese Swirl
In a small bowl, beat together:
- Cream cheese
- Sugar
- Vanilla
You want it smooth, creamy, and lump-free.
🍫 Step 4: Swirl & Bake
- Pour about two-thirds of the brownie batter into the pan.
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the top.
- Add the remaining brownie batter in blobs.
- Gently swirl with a knife — you want beautiful ribbons, not fully blended.
🎥 This swirl is super satisfying on camera.
Bake for 22–26 minutes — you want gooey, not dry.
💡 Tip: Brownies are done when a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs, not clean.
