For Passover, chocolate cream cheese brownies

If you are looking for a great Passover dessert recipe, this one’s kid-approved - and delicious. The 48 kindergarteners at Manhattan Day School, who just enjoyed a matzo-baking session as part of their pre-Passover traditions, fell in love with these Swirly Cream Cheese Brownies.

The school’s director of early childhood ed, Aviva Yablok, created the recipe and it’s a fabulous addition to the holiday meals. The brownies are made with dairy.

Passover Swirly Cream Cheese Brownies
Makes 2 dozen
¼ cup butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
½ cup matzah meal
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted
2 tablespoons potato starch

Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Using an electric hand mixer, mix the butter and cream cheese together in a large bowl. Add the sugar and eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly blended. Fold in the matzah meal and potato starch until blended evenly.

Combine 2/3 of the batter with the melted chocolate and mix well. Pour chocolate batter into the pan, then the original batter on top. Swirl together with a skewer or knife, making sure to spread batter evenly in the pan.

Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool slightly on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
