Equipment

  • Bowl and whisk
  • Small bowl
  • 8x8 baking dish
  • parchment and nonstick spray
  • ziplock bag and scissors

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Signature Select granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Signature Select all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Dark cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Signature Select baking powder
  • 2 Lucerne Farms eggs
  • 1/3 cup Signature Select vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp Signature Select Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Signature Select Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 8 oz Lucerne cream cheese
  • 1 Lucerne Farms egg
  • Orange food coloring

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your Traeger Grill to 350* and line an 8x8 glass baking dish with parchment paper and then grease liberally.
  • In a bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder until well blended.
  • In a small bowl, mix the eggs, oil and vanilla until combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not over-mix!
  • Transfer the brownie batter to the prepared dish and smooth the top.
  • In a new bowl, combine the cream cheese and eggs until well blended and smooth.
  • Add orange food coloring to the cream cheese mixture– add enough to turn the cream cheese really orange!
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture into a plastic sandwich bag and remove all the air.
  • Snip off the corner of the bag and use it as a piping bag to decorate the top of the brownies.
  • We made a spiral from the center out on the brownie layer, keeping the lines close together.
  • Using a toothpick or wooden skewer, drag through the brownie layer from the center out, making a spider web pattern.
  • Place the prepared brownies in the preheated grill and bake for 30-35 minutes until just set.
  • Remove from the grill and allow them to cool before slicing.
