Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180 °C (160 °C for convection) or to gas mark 4. Line a 20 cm square pan with parchment. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter with the sugar, gradually adding the eggs.

2. 2

   Sift the flour, cocoa powder and leavening agent, add the milk and quickly mix until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips and gently combine. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 30 min until the top is browned. Then let the brownies cool.

3. 3

   While the brownies cool, prepare the topping: melt the milk chocolate, let it cool slightly, then combine it with the soft cheese and beat until smooth and silky.

4. 4

   Spread the topping evenly over the cooled brownies, then cut them into small squares – they are intensely rich.
