Directions

1. Prepare the Brownie Base:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides, and spray with cooking spray.​Averie Cooks
   • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and chopped semi-sweet chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.​
   • Whisk in granulated sugar, followed by eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.​
   • Sift in all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.​OMG Chocolate Desserts
   • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.​
2. Add the Cream Cheese Layer:
   • In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.​
   • Incorporate the egg, mixing just until combined to avoid overbeating.​Scientifically Sweet+2The Country Cook+2Katie’s Cucina+2

   • Gently spread the cream cheese mixture over the brownie layer, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent burning.​Averie Cooks
3. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. A toothpick inserted into the brownie portion should come out with a few moist crumbs.​
   • Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.​
4. Chill and Serve:
   • Once cooled, refrigerate the brownies for at least 2-3 hours to allow the cream cheese layer to set properly.​
   • Use the foil overhang to lift the brownies from the pan. Cut into squares and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.​

FAQs

How do I prevent the cream cheese layer from browning too much?

Leaving a small border around the edges when spreading the cream cheese mixture helps prevent it from touching the pan directly, reducing the risk of over-browning.​OMG Chocolate Desserts+2This Delicious House+2Averie Cooks+2

Can I use a boxed brownie mix instead of making the brownie layer from scratch?

Yes, a boxed brownie mix can be used for convenience. Prepare the batter according to package instructions and proceed with adding the Oreo and cream cheese layers.​Katie’s Cucina

Is it necessary to chill the brownies before serving?

Chilling helps the cream cheese layer set properly, making the brownies easier to cut and enhancing their flavor.​

Can I double the recipe for a larger batch?

Yes, you can double the ingredients and use a 9×13-inch baking pan. Adjust the baking time accordingly, checking for doneness
