Something between a brownie and a pudding, the intensity of this original dessert defies description. Definitely not for dieters!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (not margarine) shopping list
- 1/2 cup shortening shopping list
- 1 1/2 cups sugar shopping list
- 3 eggs shopping list
- 1 tsp. real vanilla shopping list
- 1/4 tsp. salt shopping list
- 1 cup softened cream cheese shopping list
- 1 1/4 cups flour shopping list
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa shopping list
- 1 tsp. baking powder shopping list
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda shopping list
- 1 cup semi-sweet real chocolate chips shopping list
How to make it
- Grease and flour an 8x10 pan. Preheat oven to 325°.
- Beat butter and shortening together in a large bowl.
- Add sugar gradually and beat until well-creamed.
- Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until fluffy.
- Beat in vanilla and salt.
- Combine dry ingredients in smaller bowl, and add this, beating at medium speed, alternatively with spoonfuls of the softened cream cheese to the butter mixture, beating until mixture is very thick and fluffy.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Spread evenly in pan and bake in the center of the oven for 30-40 minutes, depending on your oven and the size of your pan (the measurements given are for a standard European pan).
- Keep checking to be sure it does not get too dark on the top; you may need to cover with foil the last 5 minutes or so.
- Like brownies, the middle may appear slightly underdone, but when the edges are pulled away a bit from the pan and it's browned, remove it from the oven.
- Allow to cool completely before serving at room temperature in small squares (it's VERY rich!) and passing the whipped cream.
- Refrigerate any leftovers, but you probably won't have any!
