Same recipe and directions from “The Loaf that Tempted the Sleeping Baker” but instead of cocoa, I used an 8oz low-fat cream cheese. These were baked in a 12 cup muffin pan and a small size loaf pan for the remaining mixture.

Brownies with cheese? Yep, it is! It’s crunchy outside, mild chewy inside and a fold of cheese to balance the chocolate dose. Hmmm yum!
Ingredients:
½ teaspoon vanilla essence
8 oz low-fat soft cheese
1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
7 tbsp butter
¾ cup All-purpose flour
3 tbsp cocoa powder
50 g chopped pecan nuts
Frosting:
4 tbsp butter
1 tbsp milk
13 tbsp powdered sugar
2 tbsp cocoa powder
Pecan nuts, to decorate (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease an 8 inch square tin.
2. Beat the cheese, vanilla essence and 5 teaspoon of granulated sugar, set aside.
3. Beat the eggs and remaining granulated sugar together until fluffy. Add butter and cocoa powder into the egg mixture. Add flour and nuts.
4. Pour half of the brownie mixture to the tin then spread the soft cheese over it, and cover it with the remaining brownie mixture. Bake 40-45 minutes. Leave to cool.
5. For frosting, melt the butter in the milk. Add sugar and cocoa. Spread the frosting over the brownies and decorate with pecan nuts. Let the frosting set. Enjoy!

I’ve always wanted to bake but there were days when I just don’t have time (which is not entirely true) excuses like – I have something else to do, not enough ingredients and materials, or just plain lazy. Lame right? I know.
Ok, so last week I have bumped to this interesting site by Ana Dane’s Loaf of Darkness she made it look so easy to make and deliciously tempting that there was no excuse not to bake this time. The original recipe had a black cocoa but my cabinet only has the brown one lol so boom here it is!
I’m glad I finally did this. There’s this kind of joy in baking and the satisfaction just by looking at the finished product and say wow I made this
