Ingredients:
For the Brownies:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cheesecake Dimples:
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions:
-
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, ensuring there’s some overhang for easy removal later.
- Coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Making the Brownies:
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and semisweet chocolate. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. If needed, microwave for an additional 15 seconds.
- Add the sugar to the chocolate mixture and stir until fully combined.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until the batter is smooth.
- Gradually stir in the flour mixture until no lumps remain.
- Spoon the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
Creating the Cheesecake Dimples:
- In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth using a mixer on medium speed.
- Reduce the speed to low and mix in the flour, sugar, and vanilla extract until well blended.
- Add the milk and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Using a tablespoon, make small depressions or dimples in the top of the brownie batter.
- Drop dollops of the cream cheese mixture into each dimple, creating an uneven pattern across the surface.
-
Baking:
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the brownies are firm to the touch and set.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 15 minutes.
-
Finishing Touches:
- Using the foil overhang, carefully lift the brownies out of the pan and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, about 2 hours.
- Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut the brownies into squares.
-

Tips for Success:
