This recipe features three kinds of chocolate-baking cocoa, hot fudge topping and chocolate chips! A small piece is all you need to round out a holiday dinner. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar, divided |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup baking cocoa |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 cup hot fudge ice cream topping |
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted |
milk chocolate or striped chocolate kisses, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, cream butter and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Combine the flour, cocoa and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Press into a greased 8-in. square baking dish; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla; beat on low speed just until combined. Remove 1 cup to a small bowl; beat in fudge topping. Spread 1 cup over crust; spread with remaining cream cheese mixture.
3. Stir melted chips into remaining fudge mixture; drop by teaspoonfuls over cream cheese layer. Cut through batter with a knife to swirl.
4. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Garnish with kisses if desired. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 12-16 servings.
