Dark chocolate brownie base with an orange overlay. Not as good as a chocolate orange but will do in a polite pinch.
Ingredients:
12 ounces dark chocolate
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 (8 ounce) package low-fat cream cheese
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 egg whites
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 ounces low-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup orange juice
1/3 cup sugar
2 egg whites
1 egg
5 ounces dark chocolate
3/4 cup fat-free half-and-half
Directions:
1. Base: In a double boiler melt the 12 ounces of dark chocolate with the butter. Set aside, don't leave on after melting occurs. In a separate bowl mix 1 package of cream cheese, 1 1/2 sugar, 1/4 brown sugar, 2 egg whites, 2 eggs until all incorporated. Add vanilla. Mix flours, baking powder, and salt together and sift into the wet mixture. Take chocolate butter and pour in slowly until smooth. Spray a 9x12 pan and input base brownie mix.
2. Orange Layer: Mix 4 ounces of cream cheese with orange juice and sugar. Add the 2 egg white and one egg. Spread over base layer in pan.
3. Chocolate Topper: Melt the 5 ounces of dark chocolate in a double boiler with the half and half. Once chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth lightly drizzle over orange layer.
4. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes. Until done.
