Have you ever eaten nutella?
Nutella Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies
Nutella Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies
Cream Cheese Topping
4 oz Philly Cream Cheese
2 tbs softened butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tbs flour
1/4 cup + 2 tbs Nutella
Brownie Batter
3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup Herseys Special Dark Cocoa
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
1/2 stick of softened butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 large eggs
Pre heat oven to 350′
Grease and line a 8 x 8 baking pan with cooking spray and parchment paper. The parchment paper makes it so much easier to get the brownies out of the pan so you can cut them.
Prepare cream cheese topping first.
Using a hand held mixer or kitchen aide cream together butter,sugar and flour. Add cream cheese and mix/blend until smooth. Scrape bowl and add the egg and beat until the topping is nice and creamy. Scrap bowl and add Nutella, beat about one minute or until the nutella is mixed into the cream cheese mixture completely.
Set topping aside and mix brownie batter.
Brownie batter
Sift flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder into a medium sized bowl.
In a small bowl cream sugar and 1/2 stick of butter, add eggs one at a time, beat well then add vanilla.
Fold egg, sugar, butter and vanilla mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients.
Now let me warn you. Your going to think that there isn’t enough brownie batter. Don’t worry there is. I promise.
Spread 3/4 of the brownie batter into the bottom of an 8 x 8 baking dish. This is the size pan I used. You could also use a brownie pan which I think is about 8 or 9 x 11.
The brownie batter is very thick. Spray a spatula with cooking spray. It makes spreading the batter into the corners of the pan so much easier!
On top of the brownie batter spread 3/4 of the cream cheese topping.
Randomly dollop the remaining brownie batter and cream cheese topping over the layer of brownie batter. Swirl with a tooth pick or the tip of a knife.
Bake at 350 for 40 to 50 minutes. If you like your brownies a bit gooey then bake them for 40 minutes. For a dense cake like center bake for 50 minutes.
of course now i am starving!
I'm so excited to make these! I've been meaning to try nutella for a while, and now I have a very good excuse for doing so. Thanks!
Oh my so good. I love nutella. But paired with brownies, double yum! Kids and webcams? Technology is wonderful (=
Nutella plus brownies? It's like a dream come true!
One question: In the recipe, you have "1/4 + 2 tbs Nutella" I'm guessing this is supposed to be a 1/4 cup? Or a 1/4 of the jar?
Ha! I just had nutella with my saltine crackers with peanut butter in the middle. I was just thinking to myself, "What should I bake with nutella in it?" These look good!
Annie
yes it is 1/4 cup plus. sorry about that I fixed that.
Ah, Nutella
So glad you've joined the club! The brownies look lip smacking good!
I am loving all these versions of brownies using nutella, have been slowing trying them all. And no not getting sick of them yet. Thanks for yours. And buy your daughter some nutella, peer pressure is so hard, you don't want her to be the only one who doesn't have her own jar, I am kidding.
Oh those look amazing! I'm a sucker for anything with cream cheese and I love me some brownies! Thanks for linking up! Hope to see you back again tomorrow!
These turned out very well for me. I took them out of the oven after 40 minutes, and even the next day they were still very moist and delicious. I love the parchment paper trick!
Thanks everyone for the comments.
Stacy I am so glad you tried the recipe and it turned out great for you!
Arlene
that looks so goooood!
Thanks to a friend of mine for rubbing in how good these sounded on facebook last night, and then posting the picture, I will be making these very soon! Thanks for the recipe!!
Hi there
Awesome blog, great write up, thank you!
Delicious dessert. I love brownies and nutella. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us.
Arlene, these look and sound like they are to die for. I must try them.
I tried this the other day and LOVED IT! I had some brownie mix and cream cheese and Nutella, so it worked out perfectly so I didn't have to go to the store. I think more Nutella and/or cream cheese is great too! More of either one depending on which flavor you want more of. It was hard for me to decide, so I wound up with a lot! I've added this to my blog so hopefully others will get to enjoy this as much as me! Thanks!
Hello, I would very much like to bake these. Is it possible to bake them one day ahead? Would they dry out? Thank you very much!
Yes you can make them a day ahead. Store them in an air tight container and they will be fine. Enjoy!
