Ingredients

For the Filling:
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon mint extract
4 drops green food coloring
For the Brownies:
1 cup butter
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 cup all purpose flour
For the Topping:
2 oz. chocolate, shaved

Preparation

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 13 x 9 in. baking dish; set aside.
2

In the bowl of a mixer, beat the cream cheese and ¼ cup sugar until smooth. Add 1 egg, the mint extract, and the food coloring and beat until well mixed.
3

Place the butter and 4 oz. chocolate into a large saucepan placed over very low heat. Stir constantly until the chocolate is melted. Remove the pan from the stove and cool slightly, about 10 to 15 min.
4

Beat in the remaining eggs, one at a time. Add the flour and blend well. Spread this mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the filling over this. If desired, create a marbleized effect by dragging a butter knife through both layers.
5

Bake for 45 to 50 min., or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean. Sprinkle the top with the chocolate shavings. Cool completely before serving.
