FROSTED DREAM BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch pan with baking spray or line with a parchment paper sling.
• In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until creamy and smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing well until combined.
• Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, and walnuts, if using. Pour into the prepared pan, then bake for 30 to 35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few crumbs. Let cool.
• While the brownies cool, make the frosting by combining the softened butter with the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Beat with an electric mixer for 1 to 2 minutes until they start to combine, then add the heavy cream and vanilla extract and beat until creamy and light.
• Frost the cooled brownies with the chocolate frosting, then slice into 18 squares and serve.

CREAM CHEESE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Lightly grease a square 8X8-inch pan.
• To make the cream cheese layer, put the cream cheese in a mixer bowl and mix with the paddle attachment until it's smooth.
• Add the rest of the cream cheese layer ingredients, beating well and scraping down and of the batter that dares try to escape up the sides of the bowl.
• To make the brownie layer, melt the butter and the chocolate together until smoothly melted.
• Put aside and let come to room temperature.
• Be patient, it's worth it.
• In a separate bowl from the cream cheese mixture, mix the eggs and the sugar until it's thick and a gorgeous lemon color.
• Add the chocolate mixture and mix well until combined.
• Again, scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add the flour, vanilla, baking powder, salt and the chocolate chips, mix well until combined.
• Pour half the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan.
• Dollop the cream cheese mixture over that.
• Don't worry if it doesn't cover the chocolate. It won't.
• Add the remaining chocolate mixture.
• Take a knife and gently draw it through the batters, from left to right and from top to bottom, making a checkerboard pattern.
• Don't allow the mixtures to combine, be careful.
• Sprinkle with the nuts.
• Bake in the oven until the sides, but not the tops, begin to brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
• Don't wait until a tester comes out clean, if you do then you have overbaked and basically murdered the brownies.
• Set aside to cool for about 10 minutes, cut into 12 or 16 brownies, cover and refrigerate.
