Let's Get Started!

The Ingredients To Gather Are:

Cream Cheese Filling:
8 ounces cream cheese
2/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons  flour
Brownie Batter:
9 ounces  semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
16 tablespoons (2 sticks,) butter
2 cups  granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/3 cup  flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt

The Step By Step Directions To Follow:

Preheat  oven to 325 degrees F. Line  9X13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, lightly grease  foil with cooking spray,  set aside.
In  bowl with a handheld electric mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), whip  softened cream cheese until smooth. Add  sour cream, sugar,  flour. Mix on medium speed until well-combined.  Set aside.
For  brownie batter, combine  chocolate, butter in  large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1-minute intervals at 50% power, stirring in between, until  chocolate, butter are melted, the mixture is smooth (don't overheat).
Stir in  sugar, eggs, vanilla,  whisk until well-combined.
Add the flour, baking powder,  salt. Mix until combined, just until no dry streaks remain.
Spread 1/2 of the batter evenly into  prepared pan; it will be a thin layer.
Dollop  cream cheese batter in large spoonfuls over brownie batter. Spread into a somewhat even layer.
Microwave treserved batter for 10-15 seconds. Give it a good stir, drizzle or dollop it over the cream cheese layer.
If desired, use a knife to swirl the brownie batter through the cream cheese filling, leaving a thin border around the edges.
Bake  brownies for 35-40 minutes.
Let cool completely in the pan and then refrigerate until chilled, 2-3 hours, for easier cutting. Gently lift the brownies out of the pan with the foil overhang, cut into squares and serve.

Enjoy!
