- 9x13 inch baking pan
- Parchment paper or aluminum foil
- Sharp knife for cutting the brownies
Ingredients
- 1¼ cup Flour
- ½ tsp Baking powder
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ cup Butter melted
- 1 cup Sugar Can add an additional ½ cup sugar if you like it sweeter
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp Ube extract
- ¼ cup Ube Jam (Ube halaya)
Cream cheese swirl
- 8 oz Cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup Sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, first combine melted butter and white sugar. Then add eggs and mix. Add ube extract and ube jam.
- Combine dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
- Set aside approximately ½ cup of this mixture for our swirl. Pour remaining batter into a 9 x 13 inch pan.
- For the swirl, combine all ingredients (cream cheese, white sugar, egg and vanilla extract).
- Spread cream cheese mixture evenly on top of Ube mixture, and then use the remaining ½ cup of batter to create drops sporadically on the top. Use a chopstick to create the swirl.
- Bake at 350 F for 30 - 40 minutes, or until the brownie is set.
Notes
If you use 1 cup sugar, the batter will turn out more of a cake-like texture. If you want a more dense brownie texture, use more sugar.
