Cream Cheese Brownie

Cream Cheese Brownie Cups

These Cream Cheese Brownie Cups are much like my Brownie Bites. I start with a brownie mix. Occasionally when I’m pressed for time, I use short-cut methods to cook and bake. There is nothing wrong with using a boxed mix.

As well, some people don’t like to cook or bake, but at times they’re asked to contribute to a school party or such. This is a quick and simple recipe for those times. If you have a blue-ribbon-award-winning brownie recipe, of course, you can use it instead of a mix.

Cream Cheese Brownie Cups

This is the type of brownie mix I use for this recipe. Be sure to get the brownie mix that makes enough for a 9×13 inch pan. (A lot of the mixes are for an 8×8 pan.) Then you’ll need ingredients that it is called for on the package for the fudgy brownies. Most mixes will have a fudgy mix or a ‘cake-like’ mix, I used the recipe for the fudge mix.

Cream Cheese Brownie Cups

For the cream cheese mixture, you’ll need 4-ounces of room temperature cream cheese, 1 large egg, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Be sure to allow the cream cheese and egg to come to room temperature.

If you prefer, you can swirl the cream cheese mixture with the brownie mixture to get a marbled effect.

To do this, you will pour the brownie mixture into the cupcake liner, then top with the cream cheese mixture. Use a wooden pick and insert it into the cupcake about an inch and swirl around to combine the mixtures.

Ingredients

  • 18.3 oz box brownie mix

  • 1 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ยฐF.

  • Mix brownie mix according to package directions.

Notes

*One thing I wish I had done with these brownies is to use a toothpick and swirl the cream cheese mixture with the brownie mixture. You would simple pour the brownie mixture into the cupcake liner, then top with the cream cheese mixture. Use a wooden pick and insert it into the cupcake about an inch and swirl around to combine the mixtures.ยฉCallMePMc.com All images & content are copyright protected.

  1. We all need tasty treats that are easy to whip up and I’m totally loving these ๐Ÿ™‚ They look so good!

  2. Those caught my eye in the party list. Like you, I know people who will get in a snit because you used a boxed brownie mix. Others would get upset because eggs and dairy were used. I think we get too judgmental about other bloggers. The idea is a great one and can be adapted to suit.

    1. Thanks so much. Love your outlook, we can’t please everyone, but I love that you can take ideas and alter them to your tastes and inspirations. Thanks for stopping by, have a great week!

  3. Paula, these look sinfully delicious. I’d love it if you shared these at What’d You Do This Weekend.

    Have a great week,
    Linda

    1. Thank you Tanya. These are my go-to when teachers ask for something, you can ‘fancy’ them up with so many toppings.
