Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons Elderflower Syrup
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup Elderberry Jam
Directions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees
- Lightly grease a 13x9 pan. In a 3 quart saucepan, combine the butter and chocolate. Melt over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Then, stir in sugar and liqueur. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add dry ingredients and stir until well blended. Spread batter evenly in pan.
- In small bowl, beat together filling ingredients (do not include the jam). Beat at medium speed until smooth, and pour over batter. Drop elderberry jam by tablespoon onto filling ( 8 to 10 dollops). Using a knife, swirl filling and jam through batter to make a marble effect. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes- until toothpick comes out clean. Allow the Elderberry Cream Cheese Brownies to cool completely before cutting. These brownies go great with a large glass of milk, cup of your favorite tea, or coffee!
