Zebra Brownies

Zebra Brownies

(not a calorie to be found in these...heh, heh! I got the recipe from my sorority sister Kim...make sure you have plenty of eggs sitting around before you start!)

Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature...it really does make a difference...all these ingredients can even sit out overnight! I promise it won't hurt you!

Layer One....

Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a 9x13 pan.

In a large stand mixer...

Cream together:

1 cup of butter

1 1/2 cups of sugar

Add...

1 cup of cocoa

4 eggs

Add...

1 cup of flour

1 teaspoon of vanilla

Pour into the 9x13 pan.

Layer Two....

Cream together:

3 (8 ounce) blocks of cream cheese

1 1/2 cups of sugar

Add...

5 eggs

When that is mixed together, add 1/2 cup of flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla.

Pour over the chocolate layer and flip with a butter knife to marble the two layers. Sprinkle with a few tablespoons of sugar and 1/4 cup-1/2 cup of sliced almonds. Bake for 45 minutes or until set in the middle.
