.: Recipe : Triple C's Chocolate Brownies :.



A recipe that I may try out this weekend - considering I have some cream cheese left. Since I only have 125 grams of cream cheese left, I am going to half this recipe. I took the liberty of rounding up/down these recipes that were originally converted from the US measurement to the metric measurement. I am not very familiar with the whole "cup" measurement thingy.

Recipe for Cappuccino Cream Cheese Chocolate Brownie *now that's a mouthful isn't it? Hence renamed it to Triple C's Chocolate Brownies*

Brownie Batter
110 grams of unsweeten chocolate
170 grams butter
310 grams sugar (based on experience, I am gonna reduce this by 1/3)
8 grams of coffee powder
155 grams flour
4 eggs
2 - 3 teaspoon of vanilla essence

Cheese Batter
225 grams of cream cheese
115 grams sugar
15 grams of flour
1- 2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 egg

Beat Brownie Batter together and spread into a baking tray.

Beat Cheese Batter together until well blended. Spoon over Brownie Batter and swirl with knife to marbleize.

Bake for 40 minutes in a preheated oven of 180 degrees.

Hmmmm....should I modify by adding a lil bit of peanut butter? Sound like a good combination no?


Note : The brownies turned out really well. I took Su's advise (well it wasn't really an advise - she just said I was crazy!) and skipped the peanut butter idea!
Am so loooooving the cheese, tho this brownie quite lacking in the "cappucino" part. Perhaps the coffee powder I used (Nescafe) isn't strong enough? Nevertheless, the brownies turned exactly the way I like it. Texture gooey-ish like, the smell when it comes out of the oven -oo00ooohhh (wish I could upload smells to share with you all), the taste just nice, not too sweet - I reduce my suger to 1/3, but bearing in mind I used sweetened chocolate. So if you have a sweet tooth, or you're planning to stick with baking chocolate (albeit the unsweetened one) then I suggest you stick with the original recipe. Finished with the first piece, off to get my second one.


Have a nice weekend all! Cheers!
