  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F / 165°C.
  2. Prepare the brownie batter following the batter recipe instructions, then spread it evenly into a 9x9-inch baking pan or similar square pan.

  4. Mix the egg, vanilla extract, and salt into the cream cheese mixture until creamy.
  5. Fold the white chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture.
  6. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter and swirl the layers together with a knife using gentle figure-eight motions.
Baking
  1. Bake the brownies for 30-40 minutes, keeping the pan on the bottom oven rack for the first 20 minutes and transferring it to the top rack for the final 10-15 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
Serving
  1. Allow the pan to cool completely before slicing the brownies into squares.
  2. Serve the brownies at room temperature or chilled.

Store cooled brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze tightly wrapped squares for up to 2 months.
