Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Butterscotch Cream Cheese Brownies Delight.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While it warms up, grab a 10x13-inch baking dish and give it a good greasing, followed by a light dusting of flour to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, 1/3 cup of sugar, and 1 egg.
Step 4
Beat these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy texture that feels like a warm hug.
Step 5
Next, take a saucepan and set it over medium-low heat.
Step 6
Add water, cocoa powder, and butter, stirring gently until the butter melts and everything blends beautifully—this should take about 5 minutes.
Step 7
In a large bowl, mix together the remaining 2 cups of sugar, 2 eggs, sour cream, baking soda, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Step 8
Once combined, gradually pour in the luscious chocolate mixture, beating until your batter is silky and smooth.
Step 9
Now, pour this rich brownie batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 10
Take the cream cheese mixture you made earlier and spoon it over the top, then use a knife to create a delightful marbled pattern that will make your brownies look as good as they taste.
Step 11
For an extra touch of sweetness, sprinkle butterscotch chips evenly over the surface.
Step 12
Finally, pop your masterpiece into the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes.
Step 13
You’ll know it’s ready when the top is dry and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 14
Enjoy the anticipation as you wait for these decadent brownies to cool before indulging!.
