The Origin of Cream Cheese Brownies
The origin of cream cheese brownies can be traced back to the 1950s when home cooks started experimenting with new recipes. These early recipes called for mixing softened cream cheese with cocoa powder to make a thick batter which was then poured over baked or unbaked brownies. The modern version of this recipe typically includes eggs, butter, sugar, and other ingredients as well.
How To Make Cream Cheese Brownies
Making cream cheese brownies at home can be surprisingly simple! All you need are just a few basic ingredients like butter, cocoa powder, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and cream cheese. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and greasing an 8×8-inch pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Then mix together the melted butter, cocoa powder, and sugar in a medium bowl until combined. In another bowl whisk together the eggs and vanilla until pale yellow in color. Finally add the egg mixture to the cocoa mixture along with softened cream cheese and mix until everything comes together smoothly. Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean before letting cool completely before serving up delicious slices of heaven!
