February 10th is National Cream Cheese Brownie Day in the United States.
This is another variation of the popular dessert, the chocolate brownie, which is a cross between a cake and a cookie. As well as the traditional ingredients that can be found in the normal chocolate brownie, such as chocolate or cocoa powder, flour, butter, eggs and sugar, there is also the addition of cream cheese.
Cream cheese is a type of cheese that is soft and mild and often high in fat content. Although the definition of cream cheese can vary, in the US it has to have at least 33% milk fat. Other countries may require an even higher fat content.
Although a cheese, cream cheese is adaptable and can be used in both sweet and savoury recipes. In cream cheese brownies it is often used to top the brownies to create, in combination with the chocolate, a marbled finish.
