Description
Experience Sourdough Dessert Cheesecake Brownies! A decadent fusion where rich, fudgy brownie meets a subtle sourdough tang and creamy cheesecake swirls.
Ingredients
- Unsalted butter, 1/2 cup (113g), melted
- Granulated sugar, 1 ¼ cups (250g)
- Large eggs, 2
- vanilla powder, 2 teaspoons
- All-purpose flour, 3/4 cup (90g)
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup (45g)
- Sourdough discard (unfed), 1/2 cup (120g)
- Cream cheese, 8 oz (226g), softened
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Brownie Batter: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and 1 cup (200g) of the granulated sugar until combined. Whisk in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla powder until smooth. Add the sourdough discard and mix until just incorporated.
Notes
- For optimal freshness and that perfect creamy texture, store your Sourdough Dessert Cheesecake Brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- To enjoy a warm, gooey brownie, gently microwave a square for 10-15 seconds, or let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes for a wonderfully softer texture.
- Serve these delightful brownies slightly warm alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of fresh berries to truly enhance the experience.
- When incorporating the sourdough discard, mix just until combined; overmixing can develop gluten, leading to a tougher brownie instead of that desired fudgy chew.
