Ingredients

1

1 servings

  • unsalted butter, softened, for greasing
  • 18 oz brownie mix, prepared according to package instructions
  • 2 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups dutch processed cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 cup toasted walnuts
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • vanilla ice cream, for serving
  • caramel sauce, for drizzling

Instructions

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F (180°C).
  • Grease a 9-by-13-inch (23-by-33-cm) dark metal pan with softened butter, then line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on all sides. Grease the parchment with more butter.
  • OPTION 1: If using prepared mix, make the brownie batter according to the package instructions.
  • OPTION 2: If making the brownie batter from scratch, in a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and flour. Add the vegetable oil, vanilla, eggs, and water and whisk to combine.
  • Stir in the walnuts.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla.
  • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture over the top and swirl into the batter with a knife or skewer.
  • Bake until lightly puffed on top, about 20 minutes. Transfer the brownie pan to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Use the parchment paper to lift the cooled brownies out of the pan and cut into 12 bars.
  • Serve with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of caramel.
  • Enjoy!
