February 10th, is National Cream Cheese Brownie Day... ya, I am being totally serious. Who knew? Anyways, this heavenly combination leads me to introduce my Oreo Cream Cheese Brownies!
Oreo Cream Cheese Brownies {Small Batch}
Yield: 12-16 brownies*
*For a mini batch cut recipe below in half, bake in an 8x4 inch loaf pan for 20-25 minutes, cool and cut into 8- two inch squares, or 3-4 bars
Directions
Prepare brownies:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 inch square pan with foil or parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray.
In a small bowl combine flour, salt and 1/2 cup Oreo cookie pieces; set aside. Melt butter in a small saucepan. Over low heat add the chocolate, cocoa and sugar, stirring until smooth and sugar has started to dissolve. Remove from heat and stir for a about minute to cool mixture. Add the oil, vanilla and eggs one at a time. Stir vigorously for about 1-2 minutes until batter is no longer grainy and becomes thick, smooth and shiny. Gently fold in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Prepare Oreo cream cheese swirl:
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese on medium speed until smooth. Beat in sugar, vanilla, and egg on low speed until incorporated. Spoon dollops of cream cheese mixture on top of brownie batter. Sprinkle reserved 1/2 cup of Oreo pieces on top.
