Ingredients
Scale
1 cup Unsalted Butter
2 cups Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Chips
3 large Eggs
1 cup Granulated Sugar
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1 tablespoon Red Food Coloring
2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 cup Ghirardelli Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
8 ounces Cream Cheese
1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
2 cups Confectioners Sugar
2 tablespoons Heavy Cream or Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper, greasing lightly.
Melt the unsalted butter and Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips together until smooth, then let cool slightly.
Whisk together the large eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and red food coloring in a large bowl.
Add the cooled chocolate mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Fold into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then refrigerate until fully set.
Prepare the cream cheese frosting by mixing cream cheese, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and confectioners sugar until smooth, adjusting consistency with cream or milk.
Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies and refrigerate until ready to serve.
