The Best Cream Cheese Brownies

🧂 Ingredients

• ¼ cup Butter
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate
• ½ cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Hot water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¾ cups All purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 pinch Salt
• ½ cup Walnuts – chopped
• 8 ounces Cream cheese – room temperature
• ½ cup Sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

• 1 Start by preparing the cream cheese filling. In a small bowl beat cream cheese,
  sugar, egg and vanilla together until smooth. Set the bowl aside.
• 2 Pre-heat the oven to 350F (180C) and grease and cover with parchment paper an 8
  inch square baking pan. Next, make the brownie batter. In a medium saucepan add
  the butter and chocolate pieces and heat over low heat until melted and smooth,
  stirring constantly.
• 3 Remove from the heat and stir in the eggs, sugar, water and vanilla until
  combined. Add the flour, baking soda and salt, stirring well and fold in the
  walnuts.
• 4 Spread half the chocolate batter evenly in the prepared pan, top with cream
  cheese filling spreading evenly again. Drop spoonfuls or remaining chocolate
  batter on top of the cream cheese filling spreading as evenly as possible with a
  knife, then swirl the knife gently through the batter to marble.
• 5 Bake approximately 30-35 minutes. Do not over bake. Brownies should be gooey in
  the middle. Let the brownies cool in the pan. When cool, cut into squares and
  serve. Enjoy!
