Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipped topping)
- Extra blueberries for garnish
How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Brownies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the butter-sugar mixture until just combined.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Spoon dollops of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter, then sprinkle the fresh blueberries on top.
- Spread the remaining brownie batter over the cream cheese and blueberries, smoothing it out gently. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- While the brownies are baking, prepare the whipped topping. In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Once the brownies are done, allow them to cool completely in the pan. Cut into squares and serve topped with whipped cream and extra blueberries.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Don’t overmix the brownie batter; mix until just combined for a fudgy texture.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting to maintain clean edges.
Easy Variations
- Substitute raspberries or strawberries for blueberries for a different fruit flavor.
- Add a layer of chocolate ganache on top for an extra indulgent treat.
- Swirl in some peanut butter or Nutella for a unique flavor combination.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an à la mode experience.
- Fresh fruit salad for a light complement.
- A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for added sweetness.
