I am a complete Nutella junkie, so when I found this recipe for Nutella Cream Cheese Brownies, I knew I had to try it. I made them for a group of friends and everyone loved them. The entire batch was gone within minutes. Follow this recipe for a magical treat.
Cream Cheese Topping
5 oz Philly Cream Cheese, room temperature
2 tbs softened butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tbs flour
1/4 cup Nutella
Brownie Batter
3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup Hersey’s Special Dark Cocoa
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 stick of softened butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 large eggs
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350° F and grease an 8×8 pan with cooking spray.
For the cream cheese frosting: cream together the butter, sugar and flour. Add the cream cheese and mix until smooth. Add the egg and beat until the batter is creamy. Add the Nutella and beat until the it is completely mixed in (I added a little more than 1/4 cup of the Nutella. Taste it and see if you want to add more).
For the brownie batter: In a medium bowl mix together flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder. In a small bowl cream the sugar and butter. Add the eggs in one at a time and beat well. Add the vanilla. Mix the egg, sugar and butter mixture in with the dry ingredients. Spread 3/4 of the batter into your pan. Then, dollop the cream cheese topping over the brownie batter. Dollop the rest of the brownie batter on top of that and swirl it around with a knife. Place in the oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes.
When the brownies were done, I spread some Nutella over the top for a nice little topping!
