  4. Allow to cool for 5-10 minute.
  5. In a clean mixing bowl, melt cream cheese and sugar over a bain marie.
  6. Whisk till cheese is smooth, remove from heat, then whisk in vanilla extract until combined.
  7. Now your chocolate mixture should be cool enough. Add eggs, espresso powder, vanilla extract, salt, and sugar. Whisk until very well combined
  8. Add flour, and 3/4 of the oreo pieces. Mix till just combined. Careful not to overmix!!
  9. Pour half of the brownie mixture into the pan. Use a spatula to carefully spread it out evenly.
  10. Next, slowly pour in the cream cheese mixture and even out the top as much as you can.
  11. Pour in the remaining half of the brownie mixture, and sprinkle the reserved oreo pieces over the top.
  12. Bake for 30-35 minutes until top of the brownie is set.
  13. 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!
