Every once in a while a recipe is so good it deserves a second shot in the spotlight!
So I thought it was a good time to share this recipe for Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies.
If you are looking for a decadent and delicious brownie recipe, this is it!
Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies
Ingredients
The Brownie
- 1½ cups butter
- 2¼ cups sugar
- 5 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- ¾ cup + 1 tbsp flour
- ¾ cup + 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅔ cup chocolate chips
The Cream Cheese Swirl
- 8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla
- 1 egg yolk
Instructions
The Brownie
- In a saucepan on low heat, melt together the butter and sugar. Then transfer the mixture into a mixing bowl, and set aside to cool.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder and salt.
- Once the sugar mix has cooled slightly, add the eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry. Mix well.
- Add chocolate chips. Set aside.
The Cream Cheese Swirl
- Beat together cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and egg yolk, until well combined.
- Once you have the brownie mix all ready, add half of the batter to a lightly greased & dusted dish (see Tips! for dish dusting).
- Then add half of the cream cheese mix in clumps over your brownie.
- Using a knife, swirl the cream cheese mix, until you have a marbling effect like above.
- Then add the remaining brownie batter.
- Then add the remaining cream cheese batter in clumps, and swirl again.
- Bake in a 325 degree preheated oven for approximately 1 hour. The square will be done when the edges of the brownie have puffed, the centre of the cake feels firm to the touch, and a toothpick when inserted comes out clean. Just check it for doneness, as you may need to bake it longer…
- When the cake is done, remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours.
Notes
Use cocoa powder instead of flour to dust your pan! That way, you won’t see the flour on your brownies!

Just a quick picture to show you how to add the spoonfuls of cream cheese mix.
And how it should look all swirled before baking!
You are now just a short moment to pure deliciousness!
I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

I adore cream cheese brownies. Mine never turn out as pretty as yours look in the picture! Recipe sounds divine.
I love these! Whenever I make them, I feel the cream cheese seems overtaken by the brownie base though. I suppose upping the cheese couldn’t hurt to make things even more delish. Thanks for sharing this amazing-looking brownie recipe.
Oh just stop it. These look soooooooo good. I am definitely pinning!! And going to try! I came over from It’s Overflowing party. :) I linked up an Eclair Cake recipe :) and a Little Lacy Flower Pot Tutorial!

Olá Jo-Anna:
Foi um sucesso!
Adoramos o sabor e a textura, suas dicas foram muito importantes.
Obrigada,
I don’t know why I always assume that if something is swirled, it tastes better. Maybe because it’s usually swirled with cream cheese, and I’m a sucker for cream cheese. These look wonderful!!
Thanks Jen! I think swirly is pretty, and anything pretty is yum-yummy!! These are the bomb!!
