With subtle coffee flavor, these dark-swirled brownies will please even noncoffee drinkers. Ingredients:
4 (1-ounce) unsweetened chocolate baking squares |
4 (1-ounce) semisweet chocolate baking squares |
1/3 cup butter or margarine |
1 1/2 tablespoons instant coffee granules |
2 tablespoons hot water |
2 (3-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened |
2 cups sugar, divided |
6 large eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels, divided |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Melt first 3 ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Cool.
2. Stir coffee granules into hot water until dissolved. Cool.
3. Beat cream cheese and 1/4 cup butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, beating well. Add 2 eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended. Stir in coffee and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Fold in 2 tablespoons flour and 1/2 cup chocolate morsels; set batter aside.
4. Beat remaining 4 eggs in a large bowl at medium speed; gradually add remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar, beating well. Add melted chocolate mixture and 2 teaspoons vanilla; beat well. Combine 1 cup flour, baking powder, and salt; fold into chocolate batter. Stir in remaining 1 cup chocolate morsels.
5. Spread half of chocolate batter evenly in a greased 13 x 9 pan. Pour cream cheese batter over chocolate batter. Top with remaining chocolate batter; swirl with a knife.
6. Bake at 325° for 45 minutes (wooden pick will not come out clean). Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cut into squares.
7. Note: Line your pan with aluminum foil to ensure pretty squares and easy cleanup.
