Ingredients:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until both are melted and smooth.
- Add granulated sugar to the melted chocolate mixture and stir until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then add the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- In a mixing bowl, prepare the cheesecake layer by beating the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently spread the cheesecake mixture over the first layer of brownie batter.
- Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the cheesecake layer.
- Carefully spoon the remaining brownie batter on top of the cheesecake and peanut layer. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the layers together for a marbled effect.
- Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies moist and fudgy.
- Once done, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place them on a cutting board.
- Cut the brownies into squares, and your decadent Chocolate Fudge Peanut Cheesecake Brownies are ready to delight your taste buds!
Serving Suggestion: These luscious brownies are perfect for any occasion! Serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence or enjoy them with a cup of hot cocoa for a delightful winter treat.
Note: Feel free to add a handful of chocolate chips or chunks to the brownie batter for an extra burst of chocolate goodness. You can also sprinkle some extra chopped peanuts on top before baking for added crunch and visual appeal. Enjoy!
