Dessert: Cream Cheese Brownies

Combining two of my favorite things, chocolate and cream cheese, these brownies really hit the spot. I took this recipe from Cooking Light and tweaked it a bit. Their recipe calls for making your own brownies, but I cheated a bit and just used brownies from a box. Probably made this not so "light," but nonetheless, they were delicious and easy to make.

For my cheaters recipe, just follow the brownie instructions on the box. For the cream cheese topping:

  • 1 (8-ounce) block 1/3-less-fat cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (14-ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 large egg

And per Cooking Light: "To prepare topping, place cream cheese in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Gradually add cornstarch and remaining ingredients; beat until smooth. Spread evenly over batter. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes or until set. Cool in pan on a wire rack."
