Special Brownies!

[Adora]

No, not those kind.

I lost the recipe for my special Marbled Brownies today, then found it again on the Kraft website, so I'm gonna share because they are so incredibly yummy. And I'm not a kind of person who's big on brownies.

Special Philly Marbled Brownies

125g butter
125g dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup brown sugar
3 x 55g eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup plain flour, sifted
1/3 cup cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon baking powder
250g Light PHILADELPHIA Spreadable Cream Cheese
¼ cup caster sugar

1. LIGHTLY grease and line with baking paper a 18 cm x 28 cm slab tin.

2. COMBINE butter, dark chocolate and brown sugar in a medium saucepan and stir over a medium heat until chocolate and butter have melted. Remove from heat and whisk in eggs. Add flour, cocoa, and baking powder. Stir until well combined, pour into prepared pan.

3. BEAT Philadelphia Cream Cheese and castor sugar until smooth and creamy. Spoon randomly over chocolate mixture and swirl with the tip of a knife. Bake at 180C for 40 minutes.

Makes 20.

They basically taste like brownies and cheesecake. Mmmmmm *stuffs her face*.

Im sorry but your recipe uses these little weird measurements called grams. Please repost the recipe using proper english measurements. I dont know what kind of place this is, but in this food forum we dont use those fancy scientific measurements.

actually why use cups an english measurement with grams a scientific measurement?

[Dingfod]

Is a 55g egg small, medium, or large? We don't grammitize eggs here in Merka.

[livius drusus]

Gentlemen, we live in an age of online converters (http://www.onlineconversion.com/weight_common.htm) so quit being such big babies.

Still, I have to admit I'm a tad perplexed about the eggs. Is it a size thing, Adora, or are they talking about the actual weight of yolk and white? It looks delicious, btw. I know I've eaten one or two cream cheese marbled brownies (yes, they were luscious), but I've never made them.

250g Light PHILADELPHIA Spreadable Cream Cheese

Aside from that foreign measurement system, how come I have to use PHILADELPHIA cream cheese? Also, PHILADELPHIA is in the US and we don't use those gram things for anything other than drugs so something is not kosher here. IF these are Philly brownies then they should be in Philly measurements.

Now if these were special, special brownies I would understand specifying the amount of the special ingredient in grams, but not when the special ingredient is just cream cheese.

and to me this is the key point.

perhaps, adora's original version had some other ingredient.

250 grams of weed is a fuckload.


some expensive brownies. a half pound of herb might be overkill.

[Adora]

Silly USAians. Why you make this so damn hard, when its such a nice recipe? *beats you all with seafood*

Um, no, I won't convert them for you, since there are plenty of online converters, and your system is weird and stupid and I'm against it on principle.

The things in grams are in grams because they're products that are sold by their weight, and they're not dry ingredients that can be easily measured with cups and such. Philly cheese is sold by the grams. But if it was, say, sour cream in there, which is usually sold by the mils, it would be in mL. If it was regular cream, it would also be mils. If it was regular cheese, it would still be in grams cos cheese is sold by its weight as well.

The Philadelphia thing is there because I copied it off their webpage and it's evil commercialism trying to suck your brain. But I guess you could use any creamy cheesy stuff, as long as it was similar.

55g eggs are smaller ones, but I don't really pay attention to those things. I just used 3 different sized freerange eggs, because freerange= teh best. Burk gurk!

And no, these are not ex-special-brownies adapted for cream-cheese. Fucking potheads...

Well, sure, if you just dump it into the batter; it's not so much if you get the THC into the butter, though.

[livius drusus]

It's still a shitload for a single batch though, Sonnet. A crazy huge shitload. Even using total shwag an 8 oz batch would be insanely potent. Or so I have read. :shifty: In my weed cookbooks. :blush2:

Sorry, Adora, but the stoner hijack was destiny. Nothing to be done about it.

[pescifish]

Philly cheese is sold by the grams.Not in Philadelphia, I bet. :P

p.s. What's caster sugar?

[Adora]

White granulated sugar.

55g eggs are smaller ones, but I don't really pay attention to those things. I just used 3 different sized freerange eggs, because freerange= teh best. Burk gurk!LOL! I once read an article that was about how different people around the world depict animal sounds, and "Burk gurk!" wasn't one of them. I say "Bock-bock!", you say "Burk gurk!"... tomayto, tomahto, potayto, potahto, let's call the whole thing off.

The reason I asked about the egg size is that they don't sell them here in the USofA except by grade and size.

In the grading process, eggs are examined for both interior and exterior quality and are sorted according to weight (size). Grade quality and size are not related to one another. In descending order of quality, grades are AA, A and B.

Grade AA

A 'Grade AA' egg will stand up tall. The yolk is firm and the area covered by the white is small. There is a large proportion of thick white to thin white.

Grade A

A 'Grade A' egg covers a relatively small area. The yolk is round and upstanding. The thick white is large in proportion to the thin white and stands fairly well around the yolk.

Grade B

A 'Grade B' egg spreads out more. The yolk is flattened and there is about as much (or more) thin white as thick white.

Egg sizes are Jumbo, Extra Large, Large, Medium, Small and Peewee. Medium, Large and Extra Large are the sizes most commonly available.I've got no idea how many grams an egg weighs... or ounces for that matter.

[Adora]

I'd suggest if you want to be exact with the egg sizes, go for 3 x medium-small or something. Or just do what I do, not care and eat the goddamn things anyway. *munches*

Isn't it cool? Japanese ones still make me giggle. Birds go "Pipi Pipi". Dogs go "Wan wan!", cats go "Nyaauuu". Mice go "Chu chu". Hee.

Liberal elite culturalist biotch.

Don't go gettin all foreign on our ass.

You may as well be typing greek cuz I have no idea what the hell you just said.

The Philadelphia thing is there because I copied it off their webpage and it's evil commercialism trying to suck your brain. But I guess you could use any creamy cheesy stuff, as long as it was similar.

Any creamy cheese stuff, huh? So I suppose cream of sum yung man would work just fine...fucking perv.

55g eggs are smaller ones, but I don't really pay attention to those things. I just used 3 different sized freerange eggs, because freerange= teh best. Burk gurk!

K, the way it works is chickens fuck and then they lay eggs. They don't lay 55g eggs, they just lay eggs and we people say, hmmm. that's a small egg. or we say, WOW! thats a big egg. We don't get into this 55g shit. Would a 54g or 56g egg not work? WTF do you think I am going to do? Go buy a digital dope scale and weigh my fucking chicken eggs?

And no, these are not ex-special-brownies adapted for cream-cheese. Fucking potheads...

Oh, so now in addition to being all foreign and shit you are slamming those of us with unlawful knowledge of brownies as god intended them to be.

No wonder the US is so alienated from the rest of the world. It isn't Bush's fault, it all you foreigner types with your fancy scientific measurements for chicken eggs.

[canadianmisty]

Maybe if you just smoke the herb instead of attempting to blend it in the batter you can correctly l figure out how many grams there are in a shit load of chickens, thereby figuring out the entire recipe. Then, if hungry, eat the cream cheese on crackers.

[Skep]

These brownies are wonderful. I've made them many times.

A large egg weighs 2 oz.; equivalent to a 55g egg. In any recipe, unless otherwise specified, Grade A Large eggs may be assumed.
