Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the edges hang over for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions. Combine brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Whisk until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until soft and creamy. Add powdered sugar and mix until well combined and smooth.
- Pour approximately two-thirds of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Dollop the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter in small spoonfuls. Use a knife to gently swirl the cream cheese into the brownie batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies evenly over the top of the batter, pressing them lightly into the surface.
- Drizzle the remaining brownie batter over the top, creating a final layer that partially covers the Oreo cookies.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour before cutting into 16 equal squares.
- For best results, refrigerate for 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld together.
Tips
- Room Temperature Matters: Ensure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better texture.
- Don't Overmix: When preparing the brownie batter, mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the brownies tender.
- Swirling Technique: For the most beautiful marbled effect, use a knife or toothpick to create gentle, random swirls in the cream cheese layer.
- Oreo Crushing: For the best texture, crush Oreos into a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks to provide varied texture.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, neat squares.
- Chilling Enhances Flavor: Refrigerating for 2 hours before serving helps the flavors meld and makes cutting easier.
- Storage Tip: These brownies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
