Fudgy Cream Cheese Brownies

For years I didn't have any luck with homemade organic chocolate brownie recipes, they always came out hard and I had to resort to the nasty boxed mixes that still have trans fats, until I found this recipe for fudgy cream cheese brownies, these are so soft and so good!  I've adapted and tweaked it a lot of course.  Note: these are more of a cake-like fudge brownie, and are very moist and dreamy.  UPDATE:  Also check out my newer “more like boxed” fudge brownie recipe here.

Fudgy Cream Cheese Brownies

Makes one square pan of brownies or double for a 9×13.
Author: Kelly the Kitchen Kop

Ingredients

  • About 4 ounces German sweet chocolate I didn't have that on hand so instead used 4 ounces of chocolate chips
  • 5 Tablespoons butter – I use organic
  • 3 ounce organic cream cheese softened – have you tried homemade cream cheese?
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar Curious about Agave Nectar?
  • 3 eggs – preferably from a local farm with pasture-fed chickens
  • 1 Tablespoon flour + 1/2 cup flour use separately – I use half organic whole wheat pastry flour (which I grind in my grain mill) and half unbleached white flour or einkorn flour. You also might try using part sprouted flour!
  • 1/2 teaspoon + 1 teaspoon vanilla extract use separately – I use organic to avoid preservatives
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder – I use the kind without aluminum
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped crispy pecans optional

Instructions

  • Melt chocolate with 3 Tablespoons of the butter over very low heat. Stir constantly until smooth. Set aside to cool.
  • Cream remaining 2 Tablespoons butter with cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar. Cream until light and fluffy. Blend into this 1 of the eggs, 1 Tablespoon flour of the flour and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Set aside.
  • Now beat the remaining 2 eggs until light and fluffy. Gradually beat into them 3/4 cup sugar. Continue beating until thickened. Stir in thebaking powder, salt and 1/2 cup flour. Add to this the cooled chocolate mixture. Blend well. Stir in the nuts and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
  • Spread half of the chocolate batter into an 8×8″ buttered glass baking dish. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the top. Then drop the remaining chocolate batter by tablespoons over the top of the cream cheese mixture. Swirl through batter layers with a spatula or knife for a marbled effect.
  • Bake in a preheated 350* F (175* C) oven for 35-40 minutes. Cool in the pan. Cut into squares or bars.
  • Being the chocoholic I am, I then sprinkle more chocolate chips on the top after the brownies come out of the oven – they melt into a yummy frosting.  A little homemade whipped cream on top is dreamy too!
  • Note:  I doubled the recipe for a 9×13, and it took about 45 minutes, but oven temps can vary, so keep an eye on it. (I pulled it out when it was soft on top and felt almost set, but not too firm – I don't like them too done or they're dry.)

Let me know how they turn out for you!

    I haven’t tried the other flours to see if they’d work, but if you try, let us know how it goes!

    For cupcakes you could definitely use this recipe, yum!

    I’m going to have to play with this to make it more low carb – like using coconut flour and maybe some ground flax seed. It looks like I already have all the ingredients too!!!! As soon as I get off the computer I’m going in to try it!

    Do you have a recipe for Chocolate Cupcakes? My son’s birthday is coming up next week and I want to home-make the cake instead of buying a mix. Thanks!!

    Mmmm yes that would be my question too. I’d like to use coconut or almond flour and would use Stevia as a sweetener to control my blood glucose. Would either of those flours work?

    nevermind. You already did. LOL

    Would coconut flour work instead of what you have, or is it your binder? I’m really new to all this.

    Kelly, I just came across your site and love perusing your recipes. These brownies are delicious and was a great use of the plethora of homemade cream cheese that I have on hand. Next time I’ll double the recipe. My husband ate the pan in a day!

      Kelly – I just posted a link to your brownie recipe over on my very little food blog and I also mentioned your class. I don’t have many readers but maybe someone will check it out.

    To the commenter who just complained about this being called organic but not ALL ingredients being listed as organic:

    A. So just USE all organic ingredients if you’re concerned about every single ingredient being organic.
    B. If you’d like to comment again without using the Lord’s name in vain, feel free and I’ll approve it this time.

    Hi Mindy,

    I’ve since started thinking more about organic chocolate chips – here’s a post about that: https://kellythekitchenkop.com/2009/04/chocolate-chips-gmos.html

    Also, I’m hit and miss on the cream cheese. Depends on how frugal I’m feeling. Sometimes I just make my own, too: https://kellythekitchenkop.com/category/cream-cheese-yogurt-how-to-make

    I’m glad you found your way here! 🙂

    Delicious!

    I’m just curious – why don’t you use organic chocolate or cream cheese? Do you just not think it’s worth the expense on these items?

    I’m a relative newcomer to your site, but I love it!

    Erin, ya big sweetie, you crack me up! Thanks for the encouragement – “You complete me.” LOL

    Kel p.s. Read about the Agave Nectar controversy at the post with the label, “My Dark Secrets”. If you still decide to use it (I do now and then, depending on what I’m making), you can just substitute it for the sugar in any of your recipes, and take out a bit of the liquid. Then just toss out that wonky cookbook!

    Hi Ms. Kelly. I'm totally new to the blogging world, but I really had to pop in & let you know that You had me at Hello. 😉
    I am loving all the tips on how to incorporate better nutrition while still having super tasty food!
    I made the brownies last night & they turned out great. I wanted to try agave too, but I was nervous & didn't have a plan B dessert in case they turned wonky…but I will next time! 😉
    I am so bummed, I found a cookbook just about baking with agave nectar, but the author uses lots of 'alternative, vegetarian' ingredients (soy milk, tofu, veg shortening…) which I really don't like or want to use, I'm like "where's the butter?!" so it has not been as helpful as I'd hoped.
    Anyway, thank you for all the good info you've provided & keep up the good work!
    ~Erin
