With Father's Day coming up we thought it would be fun to bake treats for our fathers. Finding a recipe was fairly easy because both of our dads love chocolate. We found this recipe on a great blog, called Baking Bites. The recipe was fairly simple and the brownies turned out well.
Ingredients1/2 cup butter, room temperature
2-oz dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup flour
2 tsp cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt 8-oz cream cheese, room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup raspberry preserves/jam
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease. (Next time we will try the recipe without the foil, because the foil made it very difficult to cut and prepare the brownies)
In a small, heatproof bowl, melt butter and chocolate together. Stir with a fork until very smooth. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. Whisking steadily, pour chocolate mixture into sugar mixture. Stir until smooth. Sift flour, cocoa powder and salt into the bowl and stir until just combined.
Pour into prepared pan and prepare cheesecake mixture.
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla extract until smooth. Drop in dollops onto prepared brownies batter. Drop dollops of raspberry preserves into the cheesecake batter. Gently swirl batter with a butter knife, giving the brownies a swirly look.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, until brownies and cheesecake are set.
Cool in the pan completely before slicing and serving, either at room temperature or chilled.
Brownies can be refrigerated, covered, for several days.
