When you have packets of cream cheese in the fridge and you have no idea why, the first thing that comes to mind is cheesecake.
These brownies are the perfect solution – a little bit of cheesecake, a little bit of dark rich brownie and a lot less time in the oven.
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. In large bowl, mix together cocoa powder and baking soda.
3. Blend in 1/3 cup of oil.
4. Add boiling water to cocoa mixture and stir until mixture thickens.
5. Stir in sugar, 2 eggs, and remaining 1/3 cup of oil. Stir until smooth.
6. Add flour, vanilla, and salt and stir until combined.
7. Pour into a 9×13 baking dish.
8. For cream cheese swirl topping, mix together cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 egg.
9. Drop by spoonful on top of brownie batter and swirl into batter.
10. Bake 35-45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Yes, it helps dissolve the sugar quickly!

Why should the water be boiling? To help dissolve the sugar?
