Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ghost Cheesecake Brownies Delight.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, gather all your ingredients and prepare an 8x8 baking dish by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper—this will make for easy removal later.
Step 3
In a heatproof bowl, chop up some dark chocolate and set it aside.
Step 4
Next, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then pour it over the chocolate.
Step 5
Let this sit for about 5 minutes; the warmth will soften the chocolate beautifully.
Step 6
After that, stir the mixture until it’s completely melted and silky smooth.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, grab your electric mixer and whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar on high speed.
Step 8
You’re aiming for a light, pale yellow color, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 9
Once you’ve achieved that lovely hue, add in the vanilla extract and a pinch of kosher salt, mixing for another minute to blend everything nicely.
Step 10
Now, pour the luscious melted chocolate-butter mixture into your egg-sugar blend and mix until they’re well combined—this should only take about 30 seconds.
Step 11
Gently fold in the all-purpose flour with a spatula, being careful to mix until no flour streaks remain.
Step 12
Set aside 2 teaspoons of this brownie batter for later.
Step 13
Now, pour the remaining brownie batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with your spatula to create a smooth top.
Step 14
For the cheesecake layer, take a bowl and combine softened cream cheese, sugar, egg white, and vanilla extract.
Step 15
Whisk this mixture until it’s smooth and creamy—this will add a delightful richness to your brownies.
Step 16
Dollop 9 tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture onto the brownie batter in a fun, even pattern.
Step 17
Use a spoon and a bamboo skewer to shape these dollops into whimsical ghost-like figures—this is where the fun begins! Take the reserved brownie batter, transfer it into a small plastic bag, snip off one corner, and pipe little eyes and mouths onto each cheesecake ghost to bring them to life.
Step 18
Now it’s time to bake! Place your creation in the center of the oven and let it bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
Step 19
You’ll know it’s ready when the edges are lightly golden and the center is just set.
Step 20
Keep in mind that a toothpick might not come out completely clean due to the fudgy texture, and that’s perfectly okay! Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
Step 21
When they’re cool, transfer them to a plate and cut them into delightful squares.
Step 22
Now, gather your friends and family to enjoy these spooky treats together—perfect for any gathering or just a cozy night in!.
