Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on box)
- 15 Oreo cookies, crushed
Dairy Ingredients:
- 1 cup (170 grams) white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) cream cheese, softened
Sweetener:
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the brownie mixture according to package directions.
- Transfer half of the prepared brownie batter into a thoroughly greased 9×9-inch baking pan, creating an even base layer.
- Combine softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, whisking until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Gently incorporate crushed Oreo cookies into the cream cheese blend, ensuring even distribution of cookie fragments.
- Carefully spread the cream cheese and Oreo mixture across the initial brownie layer, maintaining a uniform thickness.
- Delicately pour the remaining brownie batter over the cream cheese layer, covering it completely.
- Scatter white chocolate chips across the top surface for added texture and flavor.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center.
- Remove from oven and allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing into squares.
Notes
- Crush Oreos finely to ensure even distribution throughout the cream cheese layer for a consistent texture and flavor in every bite.
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature to prevent lumps and achieve a smooth, creamy mixture that blends easily with powdered sugar.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free brownie mix and gluten-free Oreo-style cookies to accommodate dietary restrictions without sacrificing taste.
- To prevent sticking, line the baking pan with parchment paper, creating easy removal and clean slicing of the brownies.
