Mocha Almond Cheesecake Brownies Recipes

MOCHA CHEESECAKE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 9-inch by 13-inch rectangular baking dish by greasing it with butter and lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the chopped chocolate and cubed butter and heat on 50% power for 30-second increments until the butter and chocolate are melted. Be sure not to burn the chocolate by over-heating. Stirring every 30 seconds helps too.
• Once the chocolate and butter is melted, whisk in the white sugar and then the eggs and vanilla, just until well blended.
• Add the instant coffee and flour, and mix with a rubber spatula. Be sure not to over-mix.
• Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top as much as possible. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, egg, flour and cinnamon with a wire whisk until the mixture is smooth.
• Add the cream cheese mixture in dollops on top of the brownie batter in the baking pan. Using a knife or wooden skewer, create a swirl pattern.
• Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the brownies (through the chocolate brownie base) comes out clean.
• Let cool in the pan for 20 minutes before using the parchment paper lining to remove the brownies for slicing.

MOCHA CHEESECAKE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Melt the butter and chopped chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Or melt in a medium microwave safe bowl in 20 second increments, stirring after each, in the microwave. Remove from the heat, pour into a large mixing bowl, and allow to slightly cool for 10 minutes.
• Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment, leaving an overhang on all sides to easily lift the brownies out of the pan when cool. Set aside.
• Whisk the granulated sugar into the cooled chocolate/butter mixture. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking until smooth after each addition. Whisk in the vanilla. Gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese for 1 minute on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. Reduce to medium-high speed and beat in the sugar until combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined. Finally, fold in the white chocolate chips with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Set aside.
• Spread about half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. The batter is thick, so do your best to spread it to every corner making 1 even layer. Top with all of the cheesecake batter. Spread this in a thick, even layer. Layer on the rest of the thick brownie batter, spreading as best you can. If some cheesecake swirls out on top or if you can't quite cover the corners with brownie batter, that's OK! Sprinkle the optional chocolate chips on top.
• Bake for 35-38 minutes or until the brownies begin to pull away from the edges of the pan. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with only a few moist crumbs when the brownies are done. All ovens are different, so keep an eye on them after 30 minutes and use the toothpick test to see when yours are finished.
• Allow the brownies to cool in the pan set on a wire rack for 45 minutes. Then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 1 day. The cheesecake layer must be cold before cutting into squares.
• Once chilled, lift the foil out of the pan using the overhang on the sides and cut into squares. For neat squares, I use a very sharp knife and wipe it clean with a paper towel after each cut.
