Lemon Cream Cheese Brownies 🍋💛
Ingredients Needed:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 stick softened salted butter
3/4 cup cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3-4 drops yellow food coloring (optional for that vibrant look)
For the Icing:
2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup powdered sugar
Yellow sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
How To Make Lemon Cream Cheese Brownies:
Oven Preparation: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Get an 8×8 baking pan ready by lining it with parchment paper and giving the sides a quick spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Dry Mix: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and flour.
Creamy Mixture: To the dry ingredients, add the softened butter and cream cheese. Beat the mixture until it becomes creamy and smooth.
Add Wet Ingredients: Into the creamy mixture, blend in the eggs, lemon juice, and food coloring until the mixture is uniform.
Baking Time: Transfer the batter into your prepared pan and let it bake for 20 minutes, or until the center is just set but still slightly soft.
Cooling Down: Allow the brownies to cool within the pan for about 30 minutes.
Icing Creation: For the icing, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Spread this icing over the cooled brownies and sprinkle some yellow sprinkles on top for a decorative touch.
