These Sweet Potato Cream Cheese Brownies combine the rich flavor of sweet potatoes with the decadence of chocolate brownies and the smoothness of cream cheese. The marbled effect of the cream cheese adds a visually appealing touch and an extra creamy bite to each square.
- Ingredients:
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (about 1 medium sweet potato)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to the sweet potato mixture. Stir until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter. Using a knife or toothpick, swirl the cream cheese mixture into the batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
