Cooking and Capturing: Cream Cheese Triple Chocolate Brownies

Cream Cheese Triple Chocolate Brownies

I used triple chocolate brownie mix given in our church, I'm telling you that mix is too sweet ( in my opinion). Anyways, instead of the usual prepared brownies I thought of adding cream cheese but lessen the sugar added. I'm satisfied with the results, the cake itself is soft and smooth.

1 packed of brownie mix (for 16 bars)

8 oz cream cheese

1/4 cup brown sugar (diluted in hot water)

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Prepare the brownie mix as per directed in a package. Reserve some for toppings later. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Spread the brownie mix in a prepared molder. Cover the brownie mix with cream cheese. Spread the left over brownie mix on top of cream cheese. Bake for 30 - 45 minutes for 170°C (375°F).

I made these into a small cupcake molder.
