LAYERED CREAM CHEESE OREO BROWNIES

Telah berkali-kali merancang untuk mencuba resepi ini tetapi asyik keluar masuk butter dari peti sejuk sahaja. Tidak tercapai juga hajat . Anak sulongku balik lagi minggu ini dan aku merajinkan diri juga membuat Layered Cream Cheese Oreo Brownies  agar kakak dapat bawa pulang ke kolej nanti. Anak-anak amat menyukainya dengan kombinasi cream cheese dan oreo. Rasa coklat dan manisnya amat menepati rasa.  Untuk resepi kali ini saya gandakan bahannya.

 Layered Cream Cheese Oreo Brownies

Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Brownies:

2 oz unsweetened chocolate

8 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 large eggs

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

3/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour (about 3 oz)

6-8 oreo cookies (chunck)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 inch square metal pan with foil and spray foil with cooking spray.

Beat cream cheese and sugar together in a medium bowl. When smooth, beat in egg and vanilla. Set aside.

Melt chocolate and butter together in a saucepan.

Beat eggs and sugar together in a medium bowl. When egg mixture is light and frothy, beat in vanilla, salt and baking powder. Beat in the melted chocolate/butter mixture.

Add flour and stir until smooth.Add in oreo chunk. Pour half of brownie batter into pan. Pour cream cheese batter over brownie batter. Pour remaining brownie batter over top.

Bake on center rack for 35- 42 minutes (see note). Let cool to room temperature on cooling rack, then chill for at least an hour (preferably longer) before serving. A longer chill will make for a smoother filling.

Cut into 9, 12 or 16 squares.

Note: I cooked mine for 45 minutes. The brownies were good, but I think it might be better to cook them for a shorter period. So check the brownies at 35 minutes. Cook them until they are just-done and let them cook internally while cooking and resting.
