How to make Pumpkin Latte Blondies with Cream Cheese Swirl

• Prepare an 8 x 8 x 3 baking pan by lining it with parchment paper and spray it with cooking oil. Set aside.

• Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
• Whisk together pumpkin pie spice, espresso powder, and baking soda in a medium-size bowl and set aside.

• In another bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer on medium-high speed. When smooth, beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Add and beat in the pumpkin puree.

• Reduce mixer speed to low and add in the dry ingredients until just combined. Set aside.
• In another bowl, using your mixer, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and butter until smooth.

• Spread the pumpkin batter evenly in the prepared pan.

• Add spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture randomly on top of the batter. Make sure and reserve about 3/4 cup of the cream cheese swirl mixture to pipe dollops on top of each brownie after baking.

• Using a spatula or knife, carefully mix the blondies batter and cream cheese dollops to create a swirl pattern throughout the blondies.

• Bake on the center rack of the oven for approximately 40 minutes or until the sides start to slightly pull away and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out only slightly moist.

• Remove the pan from the oven and place on wire cooling racks. Cool completely before slicing.

• Pipe small dollops of the cream cheese mixture on top of each cooled blondie.

How To Achieve Perfect Swirls

Using a silicone spatula or a sharp knife, insert it about halfway down into the batter. Carefully drag it through the cream cheese dollops that are on the top to create gentle swirls. Don’t over swirl, though.
