Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 20cm square brownie tin with baking parchment. Beat the butter and sugar together with an electric whisk, then add the eggs one by one.

  • step 2

    Sift in the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder, and add the milk. Mix everything together, then stir in the chocolate chips. Spoon into the tin and level the top. Bake for 30 mins, or until the top is set, then cool completely.

  • step 3

    Meanwhile, make the topping, melt the milk chocolate, cool a little, then mix it with the soft cheese until fully combined and silky.

  • step 4

    Spread the topping over the cooled brownies and cut into small squares – these are very rich.

the iceing was a bit funny so i added half a table spoon of sugar and it was so much better

Easy to make and so good, (definitely don’t understand people’s notes on these being more cake like??) I used white chocolate and milk chocolate buttons as an alternate to the chips. I also prefer without the topping (but made a bit of both!)

Nice but not really a brownie.

I was a bit dubious as I've never seen a brownie recipe which uses a raising agent before. Turns out that was justified as these are more like a cake than what I expect a brownie to be (dense and fudgey).
