    These slow cooker cream cheese brownies are a delicious dark chocolate brownie with a marbled cream cheese centre, perfect to enjoy with a friend over coffee!

    The coming of autumn seems to make me crave chocolate. I must resist! My last four recipes all feature chocolate. Must try harder! But not today!

    Recipe tips

    I took the brownies out with quite a wobble still in the centre, as I like it this way, but you could also cook this until the brownies are firm in the middle if you prefer.

    I liked the way the gooey parts contrasted with the soft cakey parts around the edge. So droolworthy!

    I cooked this in a large slow cooker (5.7 litre) in a silicone pan, but you could also make them directly in a smaller slow cooker e.g. a 3.5 litre. Just remember to grease the pot and line it with baking paper or a cake case so it is easy to remove.

    The good thing about making slow cooker brownies is they don’t burn easily, it would take quite a while for them to burn, so you can prepare them and then leave them baking and get on with work or household chores or whatever is on your to-do list!

    Ingredients

    For the quantities make sure you see the recipe card at the end of the post.

    • butter
    • caster sugar
    • eggs
    • cocoa powder
    • self-raising flour
    • milk chocolate 
    • cream cheese (I use Philadelphia)

    Step by step

    1. Place the first five ingredients (butter, sugar, eggs, cocoa powder, self-raising flour) in a large bowl and mix together with a wooden spoon or whisk until smooth.
    2. Stir in the chopped chocolate.
    3. In a separate small bowl, mix the Philadelphia cream cheese with 3 tsp of caster sugar until soft.
    4. Pour the chocolate mixture into a silicon (or metal) pan in a larger slow cooker, or for a smaller slow cooker e.g. 3.5 litre, pour it into your slow cooker pot lined with baking paper and greased in case any mixture escapes.
    5. Dot the sugared Philadelphia on top and marble it with a knife. Brownie batter marbled with cream cheese in silicone pan in slow cooker pot.
    6. Put the lid on, and cook on high for approx. 1-2 hours until firm round the edges with a wobble left in the middle. Or cook until completely firm if you like your brownies without the gooey-ness.
    7. Leave to cool and firm up then enjoy!

    Notes

    Cooking time: The cooking time depends on your own slow cooker and how hot it runs so check regularly and watch out for burning!
    If your brownies still look soft, remember they will firm up as they cool, and add another 20 minutes to the cooking time then check again.

      This looks fabulous – i am definitely going to try this, and I’ll add my flavoured chocolate powder instead of plain cocoa powder. Got several types to try.

        Hi Cassie, you should be able to use an online converter, I’m not sure if you are in the UK or not but Delia Smith has some good resources. I write recipes in metric measurements since I am based in England.

      Hi I was just wondering if you use a tea towel under the lid for this recipe ( also for your cinnamon and raisin bread recipe) xx

        Hi Natalie, I probably didn’t when I first made this but it is of course fine to use one and would give better results (stops the water dripping onto the cake or bread).

        Hi Becky, best to use some water in the base of the pot, unless you have a Crockpot, which can be run dry.
