Chewy Cream Cheese Brownies

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 45 min. + chilling YIELD: 4 dozen.
Brownies are a common dessert in our household—they're just about the only form of chocolate my husband will eat! I love this version. It makes a big batch and has a rich cream cheese layer in the center. —Barbara Nitcznski, Denver, Colorado

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped nuts, optional
  • FILLING:
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a microwave, melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar. Stir in vanilla and the chocolate mixture. Gradually add flour to chocolate mixture (batter will be thick). Stir in nuts if desired.
  • 2. Spread half the batter evenly into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan; set aside.
  • 3. In a small bowl, beat filling ingredients until blended. Gently spread over batter. Spoon remaining batter over filling; spread to cover.
