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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Serve and Enjoy!

    • Plate up these irresistible Black and White Brownies and watch them disappear in no time! Whether you’re enjoying them as a sweet treat with your morning coffee or as a dessert after dinner, these brownies are sure to impress.

Tips for Success:

  • For the perfect texture, be sure not to overmix the brownie batter once the flour is added.
  • Feel free to customize your brownies by adding chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of sea salt before baking.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Conclusion:

With their rich chocolate flavor and creamy cheesecake topping, these Black and White Brownies are a true delight for the taste buds! Whether you’re baking them for a special occasion or simply craving a sweet indulgence, this recipe is sure to please. Give it a try and get ready to fall in love with these irresistible treats! 🎉
