A cast iron skillet turns brownies into something special — crispy, caramelized edges with a fudgy, gooey center. The addition of a cream cheese swirl adds tangy richness that cuts through the intense chocolate. Baked on the grill or in the oven, the skillet creates the perfect baking environment.

Instrucciones

Make brownie batter

Whisk melted butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Fold in cocoa powder, flour, and salt until just combined.

Make cheesecake batter

Beat softened cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until completely smooth with no lumps.

Layer and swirl

Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Pour in the brownie batter and spread evenly. Drop spoonfuls of cheesecake batter on top. Use a butter knife to swirl through both batters, creating a marbled pattern.

Consejo del chef: Do not over-swirl — 3-4 passes with the knife is enough. Too much mixing blends the layers instead of creating a marble effect.

Bake

Bake in a 350°F oven or on a grill with indirect heat for 28-32 minutes until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle. A toothpick in the center should come out with moist crumbs.
