Oreo Cheesecake Brownies

Recipe:

Ingredient Notes:

• Chocolate. Bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content between 50% and 60% is best. You can also use a darker chocolate, up to 72% cacao, if you prefer. Milk chocolate is not recommended in this case because it will be too sweet.
• Oreos. These are an ideal option. If you don’t have Oreos, you can use similar cookies; there are different options available on the market.
• Butter. Butter with a fat content of 72% is suitable for brownies. I do not recommend replacing it with vegetable oil because the flavor and texture will suffer.
• Cream cheese. Any cream cheese, such as Philadelphia, is suitable. However, before preparing the creamy layer, check its consistency. If the cheese is very soft, adjust the ratio of cheese to sour cream to achieve the desired consistency: add more cheese and less sour cream.
• Eggs. You need medium-sized eggs weighing 50-55 grams, and it’s best if they’re warm when you add them to the batter.
• Sugar. Ordinary white sugar works perfectly. You don’t even need the finest kind. Even fairly coarse crystallized sugar dissolves well in the batter.
• Sour cream. The ideal fat content is 20-25%. Depending on your preference, you can replace it with cream that has a fat content of 30% or higher.
• Flour. Use all-purpose flour. Yes, a little is necessary.

Let’s start cooking!

Make the brownies.

Melt the chocolate and butter together using a double boiler or microwave.

Add the sugar and stir. Then, add the eggs and mix again. Finally, add the salt and flour and mix the batter.

Pour the batter into a parchment-lined baking pan and spread it evenly.

Prepare the creamy Oreo layer.

Break the Oreos into small pieces, leaving the filling inside.

Combine the cream cheese and sugar, and beat them together on low speed. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Finally, add the sour cream and mix again.

Add the cookies to the mixture.

Stir until they are evenly distributed.

Place the creamy layer on top of the chocolate layer and spread it evenly. Then, using a chopstick or wooden skewer, dip it into the pan and make chaotic movements to create a marble pattern.

Put the pan in a preheated oven set to 160°C (320°F) and bake for about 40-45 minutes. The edges of the dessert should be set.

Remove the pan of brownies from the oven. Let it cool in the pan until it reaches room temperature. Then, transfer it to the refrigerator and let it stabilize for 3-4 hours.

Remove the cooled brownie from the pan, take off the parchment paper, cut it into slices, and serve.

Enjoy!
