12 servings
Ingredients
¼ cup pumpkin purée
1 lb semisweet chocolate
1 cup flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 stick of butter
1⅛ cups sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup cream cheese
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg
Butter for greasing
Instructions
Step 1/6
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a square baking pan with aluminum foil, letting some hang over the sides, and grease the foil with butter. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Roughly chop chocolate.
Step 2/6
Melt butter and chocolate over a double boiler, stirring occasionally, until combined. Do not stir too much, or the chocolate will seize and lose its shine.
Step 3/6
Remove chocolate from heat and let cool for approx. 1 min., then stir in sugar. Beat in 3 eggs and vanilla extract.
Step 4/6
Fold in flour mixture, then transfer batter to prepared pan.
Step 5/6
Beat cream cheese until light and fluffy, then add pumpkin purée, 1 egg, sugar, and spices, and mix until combined.
Step 6/6
Dollop pumpkin mixture over brownie batter about half a thumb’s length apart. Use your finger or the handle of a wooden spoon to swirl pumpkin mixture through brownie batter in large figure-8 movements. Bake at 350°F for approx. 40 min., or until brownies start to pull away from the edges and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs. Let brownies cool completely, then carefully lift them out of the pan using the aluminum foil overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy!
