ingredients
-
CREAM CHEESE BATTER

- 1 teaspoon vanilla

BROWNIE
- 2⁄3 cup golden flavour Crisco
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate (I use Baker's)
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F Grease a 9x13-inch pan with Golden Flavour Crisco. Double this recipe to make three 9-inch pans.
- For cream cheese batter, cream Crisco, cream cheese, and sugar in medium-size bowl until smooth. Beat in eggs, flour, and vanilla thoroughly.
- For brownie, melt Crisco and chocolate in small saucepan over low heat; stir until smooth. Remove from heat and pour into a large mixing bowl.
- Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla, beating well. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; stir in to chocolate mixture.
- Spread half of brownie batter in pan. Spread cream cheese layer evenly on top. Drop remaining chocolate batter over cheese mixture, spreading gently to cover. Swirl together gently with tip of a knife.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Do not overbake. Cool.
- Once the brownies have cooled in the pan a little while, you can cut them, but don't remove them from the pan yet! Let them sit for about 1 hour until they firm up. Then you can remove them from the pan without them getting all squished up. Also, these NEED to be frozen -- you can defrost them slightly or even eat them straight out of the freezer. But DO NOT keep them on the counter!

Hi, my name is Rachel and I love to cook! Zaar is my favorite site to look for recipes and I know I can always come to CC for advice.
I was born in Montreal but I have a Chinese and Italian background.
I graduated cullinary school in June '08. I cooked at a golf club until October and loved it. Now I'm working at a high end steakhouse.
I have a tattoo on the back of my neck of the Chinese symbols for strength. I'm a person who never gives up, never let's someone tell me I can't do something.
I'm a very fun, easy to get along with person. I'm a lil bit crazy too sometimes haha.
Favorite Saying: You have great potential, so live in it.
A quote which I really like from Chef #61010 : "Roll with the punches and keep going forward. Never give up."
