Pumpkin swirled brownies, the recipe for classic brownies enriched with a pumpkin and cream cheese batter that makes them even richer and more delicious.
Brownies are chocolate treats typical of American and Anglo-Saxon culture. They are generally a square-shaped chocolate cake that is then divided into squares. The uniqueness of brownies compared to other chocolate cakes is their soft, tender, almost sticky consistency (in English chewy) and an almost crispy outer crust.
In this recipe, a creamy mixture of pumpkin and cream cheese is added to the chocolate batter directly in the pan and then “marbled” with the help of a spatula.
These are definitely rich and caloric desserts, but every now and then you can indulge!

Start preparing the pumpkin swirled brownies with the chocolate batter.
Melt the dark chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave.
Once both ingredients are melted, turn off the heat and add the sugar.
Mix with the whisks until completely dissolved.
Transfer the chocolate mixture to a glass bowl and let it cool for a few minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing between each addition.
Also add the all-purpose flour to the bowl. If you are celiac, you can use a pre-made gluten-free cake flour mix.
Mix well until you get a rather dense and lump-free mixture.
Set aside.
Now move on to the pumpkin batter. Put in a bowl the cream cheese, pumpkin flesh, sugar, an egg at room temperature, and spices.
Mix all the ingredients with a kitchen spatula or whisks.
Transfer the chocolate batter into a previously buttered or parchment-lined 8-inch square pan.
Also add the pumpkin batter and mix a little with the spatula without blending the two mixtures.
Bake the brownies in a preheated static oven at 355°F (180°C) for 40-45 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan.
Remove them and cut into 9 or 16 squares.
The pumpkin swirled brownies are ready to be enjoyed.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How long do brownies last?
You can store them for 4-5 days in an airtight container (better if in the refrigerator) or freeze them already portioned for about 2 months.
How can I make homemade pumpkin flesh?
If you can’t find pre-canned pumpkin flesh usually used in this type of recipe, bake a halved and seeded delicata squash in the oven at 410°F (210°C) for about 40 minutes, extract the flesh and let it dry a little in the pan without adding anything else.
Can I replace the pumpkin pie spice mix?
You can use cinnamon or alternatively vanilla extract.
With pumpkin flesh, you can make the PUMPKIN PIE.
