Jessica Lagasses Black And White Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
• In a medium-large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with the unsweetened chocolate, whisking occasionally, until smooth and fully melted. Sprinkle in cocoa powder and whisk to combine. Remove the pan from heat and allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
• Stir in sugar and vanilla until just combined. Stir in the eggs, one at a time. Gently stir in the flour until halfway incorporated. Add the white chocolate chips and stir just until combined.
• Pour the batter (it will be very thick!) into the baking pan and spread to even out the top.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes, then check the brownies with a toothpick; if they are overly gooey/messy, return them to the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes. (Just be careful not to burn the edges.)
• Allow the brownies to cool completely. Cut into 1-by-2-inch fingers and place on a rack over a baking sheet.
• Melt the almond bark in a double-boiler (or in the microwave in 30-second intervals). Dip one end of each brownie finger into the almond bark and then return to the rack until the coating has hardened, 5 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• 1.Heat the oven to 350°F.
• 2.Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
• 3.Beat the cream cheese, 1 tablespoon butter and 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl at medium speed until smooth.
• 4.Add 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 2 tablespoons sour cream to the mixture and beat until creamy. Stir in 2 tablespoons of flour; set the mixture aside.
• 5.Beat 1/4 cup butter, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup sour cream and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in a large bowl at low speed until mixed. Beat at medium speed until creamy.
• 6.Beat in 2/3 cup flour, baking powder and salt at low speed.
• 7.Beat in the chocolate at low speed until mixed; and then beat at medium speed until smooth and creamy.
• 8.Spread half of the chocolate mixture evenly in the pan. Top with the cream cheese mixture. Drop the remaining chocolate mixture over the cream cheese mixture filling by spoonfuls.
• 9.Pull a table knife through batters to marble.
• 10.Bake the brownies for 25 to 28 minutes or until the center is set. Place the brownies on a cooling rack; cool completely (about 2 hours), and then refrigerate until the brownies set. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator. Serve with a drizzle of chocolate sauce, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees, and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
• Melt unsweetened chocolate and butter in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.
• Using a rubber spatula, scrape chocolate mixture into large bowl. Whisk in oil and sugar, and let cool for about 5 minutes.
• As the chocolate mixture cools, whisk together flour, cocoa powder and salt in a medium bowl.
• Whisk eggs into cooled chocolate mixture until well combined, then whisk in vanilla. Using a rubber spatula, fold in flour mixture. Fold in most of the chocolate chunks, reserving the larger chunks to place on top.
• Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer. Scatter the reserved chocolate chunks on top. Sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt, and bake until the top is set and firm to touch, 17 to 23 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into 16 squares.
