This was really hard for me to make i'm not the best baker but im not the worst either. The brownies needed to be cooked a lot longer than mentioned and the cream cheese layer just blended in with the chocolate layer, plus the almond extract gives these brownies a weird twang. I'm definitley not making this again...

After 40 minutes of baking time, the center seemed liquid, so I left the brownies in for about 5 more minutes. I then tested doneness with a toothpick. It came out wet but not full of batter.
Since part of this is with cream cheese, I decided to follow the recipe as written and I'm glad I did. These brownies need to be undercooked a little as it makes them moist & fudgy. They taste fantastic.
If I make them again, I'll eliminate or reduce the amount of almond extract. It overpowers the chocolate layer, in my opinion.
I'm an avid baker & this recipe was a little vague - leaving out the pan size was just the start. It would be better to tell us how long to beat the cream cheese batter and the chocolate batter, and to explain how hard it is to "drop by spoonfulls" the top layer is.
Overall, it's a wonderful tasting decadent treat.

I tried these brownies as a dessert for guests...not a good idea. I followed the directions exactly, but I had to continue cooking the brownies for twice the time suggested, because whenever I tested them for doneness, the raw mixure would run out. By the time I cooked the insides so that they were no longer runny, the outsides were completely dried out. I know it was not my oven, since I use it successfully just about every day. I would not make these again.

As is already mentioned, the size of pan needed is not included in the recipe. Fairly good, but make sure you use a larger pan so it cooks evenly and all the way through.

I brought these brownies to a lunch at the school where I work and the crowd roared. They were moist, chocolatey and yummy-licious! They are kind of a lot of work to make (I'm not much of a chef but might be easier for a more experienced baker.
