Cream Cheese Brownies!

This recipe was a complete surprise. The combination of ingrediants found in this recipe, is not only mouthwatering but delectable in its presentation. I found the instructions well thought out and easily defined by measurements. The chocolate-cream cheese duo brought a tantalizing view of how desserts can be dream like. I enjoyed the essence of this dessert, and look forward to Mrs.Rani Kabani's ingenious recipes. Way to go Kabani! This ones a keeper!

This is one of the best cream cheese (marbled) brownie recipes I've tried and I've tried a lot! The ratio of cream cheese to brownie is just right, the brownies are moist, and the ingredients are simple. I sprinkled a few Nestle Semi-Sweet chips over the top before baking to add a little punch, but the brownies really didn't need them.

I wanted to make cream cheese brownies and out of the 3 recipes I printed, I had all the ingredients on hand for this one, and I'm glad I did. The brownies were quick and easy to make. They tasted great, I'll definately make these again. My only problem was putting the second layer of brownie batter on top of the cream cheese layer, I had trouble getting it on nice so I just let the marbling be messy, they still taste excellent.

These were absolutely great! They were very moist and rich - I didn't even have the right amount of cream cheese on hand - just used what was left of an 8oz. pkg. I had on hand - probably 5oz. or so. I've never baked brownies covered like that - it seemed to me they almost steamed while cooking - maybe why they were so moist! Thanks for a great recipe!

Oh, now these were seriously good!! In a word, amazing. I was totally unprepared for how good these would be. Don't let anyone tell you these brownies are cakey-they're not. They are soooo fudgy, rich and delicious. For those having problems getting them in the pan, just use a small amount of the thick chocolate batter in the bottom of the pan and spread it very thin then pour on the cream cheese batter (which is not as thick) and spread it out. Dollop the remaining chocolate batter on in small dollops all over and then spread it out gently, then marble. It really isn't going to matter too much though-they just are that good. This is possibly the best recipe I've tried on Zaar yet!

Besides for peanut butter cream cheese brownies these were the nest best comparison. I love cheesecake type things and brownies so I knew this would be awesome. I think it is impossible to spread the top layer on so i just dallop it on and swirl it and it turns out great. SOme had more brownie and some had more cheesecake so everyone was satisfied. I didnt cover mine either and it didnt seem to matter. Follow this and it will taste awesome!

This recipe was good, but not quite what I was hoping for. My husband and I prefer our brownies to be a little sweeter, so I might try adding a little more sugar to the brownie base next time. My husband also said he would like to see more of the cream cheese mixture (I thought it was enough the way it was, though!). Overall, the brownies are good, and I'll definitely make them again, but with just a few tweaks. ;-)

These were good, not exactly what I was looking for, but good nonetheless. The texture of the cream cheese was not what I wanted, but it was what it was supposed to be (maybe I want something that is not realistic? Or maybe I just need to smear cream cheese on a brownie?). I did use a little bit smaller pan and tried to make the cream cheese a layer instead of a marble. Didn't work so well, but that is not the recipe's fault. Tastes good.

delicious..No problems with anything here, would not change a thing..It does, however, Always amaze me, when people deviate from the main recipe and change things up and then give a LOW rating when they as much as admit it was their own fault in the first place..

Oh, good good good. The chocolate part is gloriously dense and chocolatey and the cream cheese layer complements it so well. I used only 200 g of cream cheese and also slightly less sugar in the cream cheese filling. Had no problems with spreading and marbling the layers - for me, the recipe worked as instructed. I did bake this uncovered though, in a silicon pan, for 40 minutes, with perfect results. Cut into 16 squares and devoured. Thank you Ranikabani!

Today I tried this recipe to take to my in laws for dinner. The brownie batter smelled and tasted fantastic. I doubled the recipe since everyone said that it did not make 24 but more like 12. So I doubled all ingredients, and I put it in a 9x13 pan instead. The brownie batter was VERY thick. So thick that it would not spread easily, I went ahead and put it all down on bottom, topped with the cream cheese batter, and then tried to swirl. Swirling did not work as the brownie mixture was so thick. I had to bake about 20 min longer than stated (but again I had doubled) For the last 20 min I baked uncovered so I could see what was going on. The cream cheese was all mostly on top, and tastes kind of eggy and has an odd texture to me... The brownie under though is VERY good. I think this is 80% my fault as the cream cheese was not mixed in well, there for had the odd flavor/texture problem. If I make them again, I will make one part batter, then cream cheese then make the other batch of batter to put on top and swirl.

Great brownies! Yummy! The cream cheesy-ness didn't stand out a whole lot, and the brownie part could have been fudgier (in my taste!) but delicious nonetheless! Enjoyed by the whole family! I did have to bake them about 15 minutes + extra without the tin foil on top because they wouldn't set otherwise, but they turned out great! Thanks Ranikabani!

These are amazing! I've made them several times now and they always turn out great. Plus they freeze well, and thaw just as nice as the day you made them! Thanks for posting this, it's become a family favourite.

Pretty good! Made these for my fiance because I'm trying to use up the last of the flour in the house and I had all the ingredients on hand. We are out of white sugar, and not going to buy more, so I used brown sugar for these.

The cream cheese makes these brownies so special! They looked so pretty and marbled beautifully. The combination of cream cheese and chocolate tastes were awesome!

These are good. Hubby inhaled them. The cream cheese was thicker and harder to spread than I was expecting, it turned out just fine. More cakey than I like (I like fudgey brownies) but they only lasted a couple of days around the house.
