Skillet Nutella® and Cream Cheese Brownies

Came up with this recipe after a trip to Italy where I fell in love with Nutella® and wanted to use it in everything! They're decadent and rich so one double batch goes a long way. Made them for a friend's dinner party and now every time I'm invited over their kids ask me to bring these!

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• ½ cup water
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• ½ (13 ounce) jar chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella®)
• 2 (18 ounce) packages brownie mix with walnuts (such as Ghirardelli®)
• ⅔ cup unrefined coconut oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a large cast iron skillet with 1 teaspoon coconut oil.

Step 2

Mix brownie mixes, 2/3 cup coconut oil, water, and eggs together in a large bowl.

Step 3

Combine cream cheese and chocolate-hazelnut spread in another bowl. Fold into the brownie mixture. Spread evenly in the cast iron skillet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 1 hour. Let cool in the skillet, about 20 minutes.

Step 5

Run a knife around the skillet to release edges. Cover skillet with a large platter and flip brownies onto the platter. Let cool completely before cutting into squares, about 40 minutes.
