Recipe: Oreo Cream Cheese Brownies

If you're a fan of chocolate, cheesecake and oreos then you will definitely LOVE these! I've not been baking and cooking as much as I wanted to lately, but today I finally had time to get back into the kitchen and bake these incredibly delicious Oreo Cream Cheese Brownies! To be fair, mine look more like a chocolate cake rather than 'real' brownies as I don't own a square baking tin but obviously it doesn't affect the taste at all. I came across this recipe earlier on today when I was reading 'New Kitch On The Blog', a fantastic German food blog full of mouthwatering recipes, and I simply couldn't resist... Luckily, I had all the ingredients at hand aswell - it was fate!
And here's the recipe translated into English for all my non-German speaking readers..

• 115g butter
• 100g caster sugar
• 250g cream cheese
• 80g icing sugar
• 1tsp vanilla extract
• 120g plain flour
• 50g cocoa powder
• 1/2tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 150g chopped oreo biscuits

Preheat your oven to 180°C. Start by melting the butter and sugar in a saucepan and leave to cool for a couple of minutes. Place the cream cheese, vanilla extract and icing sugar in a bowl and mix until well combined, then put it in the fridge to cool - this will make it easier to spread later on. In another bowl, combine the flour, salt and cocoa powder. And finally, in yet another mixing bowl, whizz the eggs with an electric mixer until light and fluffy before slowly pouring in the butter-sugar-mix and the flour-cocoa-mix. Make sure everything is well combined before adding the chopped oreo biscuits. Pour one half of the brownie mix into your greased baking tin, spread the cream cheese mix on top and cover it with the other half of the brownie mix - and it's ready to bake in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes. It's best to let the brownies cool down and chill in the fridge for a while before eating them.. Enjoy! :)
