  • Allow to cool for 5-10 minute.
  • In a clean mixing bowl, melt cream cheese and sugar over a bain marie.
  • Whisk till cheese is smooth, remove from heat, then whisk in vanilla extract until combined.
  • Now your chocolate mixture should be cool enough. Add eggs, espresso powder, vanilla extract, salt, and sugar. Whisk until very well combined
  • Add flour, and 3/4 of the oreo pieces. Mix till just combined. Careful not to overmix!!
  • Pour half of the brownie mixture into the pan. Use a spatula to carefully spread it out evenly.
  • Next, slowly pour in the cream cheese mixture and even out the top as much as you can.
  • Pour in the remaining half of the brownie mixture, and sprinkle the reserved oreo pieces over the top.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes until top of the brownie is set.
  • Allow to cool completely in pan.

Notes

Cover pan with aluminium foil and chill for at least 1 hour before cutting, this ensures that the cream cheese filling is set. We don't want a gooey cream cheese mess now do we? Do not cut the brownie when it is still hot/warm.
Serve with a glass of milk and enjoy!
