Chocolate Brownies Marbled With Cream Cheese

Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F and place the rack in the centre. Butter and flour a 2.3-L Rectangular Dish, then set aside.

Melt the chocolate and butter together in the microwave or a bain-marie. Stir until smooth.

Meanwhile, beat the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, brown sugar, salt and vanilla on high speed for 5 minutes, until doubled in volume and paler in colour.

Add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the batter and beat on low speed until smooth.

Mix the cocoa powder and flour together, then gradually fold into the brownie mixture using a spatula, being careful not to over-mix.

Reserve 1/2 cup of the brownie mixture, then spread the remaining mixture evenly in the Rectangular Dish. Bake for 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg and sour cream on medium speed until smooth.

Remove the Rectangular Dish from the oven and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the brownies.

Reheat the reserved 1/2 cup of brownie mixture in the microwave for approximately 20 seconds. Spoon 10 to 12 dollops over the cream cheese mixture, then run a knife through the mixture to create a marbled effect.

Continue baking for 10 to 12 minutes, then cool completely in the Rectangular Dish. Remove, cut into squares and serve.
