  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring
  • ¾ cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (25g) cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1012 Oreo cookies, crushed

For the Cream Cheese Swirl:

  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Brownie Batter

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Add eggs, vanilla, and red food coloring, whisking until combined.
  4. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold until no streaks remain.
  5. Stir in crushed Oreos, saving a few for topping.

2. Make the Cream Cheese Swirl

  1. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth.

3. Assemble & Bake

  1. Pour half the brownie batter into the pan.
  2. Dollop cream cheese mixture over the top and swirl with a knife.
  3. Pour the remaining brownie batter over and top with extra crushed Oreos.
  4. Bake for 28-32 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

4. Cool & Serve

  1. Let brownies cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
  2. Serve as-is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!


Notes

  • Make it extra fudgy: Add ½ cup chocolate chips to the batter.
  • For a crunchy texture, top with whole Oreos instead of crushing them.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for 2 months.
