Brownie swirls are traditional brownies topped with a delightful cream cheese and sugar mixture.The outcome is visually stunning and incredibly delicious. Believe me, when you serve these to family and friends, they will rant about them for ages.
There are a few tips to making these unbelievably delicious brownie swirls. First, you can use any brand of cream cheese, but I prefer the Philadelphia original cream cheese. For a slightly different twist, you could use a strawberry cream cheese or another flavor. The amount of sugar in the brownies is adjusted according to my liking, but if you prefer them more or less sweeter, you can alter the sugar accordingly. it’s entirely up to you. I find they bake perfectly in a 350°F (177 Celsius) oven, but ovens do vary. In light of this, keep an eye on them. You know they’re done if you insert a toothpick and it comes out clean.
