Ingredients

1 box brownie mix any brand
1 8-ounce block cream cheese full-fat recommended
2 eggs for brownie mix base
1 extra egg for cream cheese layer
¼ cup sugar for cream cheese layer

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the brownie base by mixing the box mix with water, oil, and the first two eggs as per box instructions. Set aside.
Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter and dust it with cocoa powder.
In a separate bowl, mix softened cream cheese, 1 extra egg, 1 tablespoon sugar, ¼ cup sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan.

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan for at least 2 hours before cutting.

Notes

Remember to soften the cream cheese to avoid lumps in the filling. Bring it to room temperature or microwave in small intervals. Feel free to experiment with different types of brownie mixes. Enjoy your delicious cream cheese brownies!
