Instructions:

*(finely ground roasted hazelnuts)

In 1-quart bowl with electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar until
smooth. Beat in egg, lemon juice and vanilla. Fold in hazelnut meal.
Refrigerate while preparing brownie batter.

BROWNIE BATTER: Melt chocolate chips and butter over simmering water.
Cool to 100 -110F. In small bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, baking
powder and salt. Reserve. In 2-quart bowl, beat sugar, eggs and
vanilla until smooth and lemon colored, about 2 minutes. Beat in
melted chocolate and butter. Add dry ingredients and beat until well
mixed. Fold in chopped hazelnuts. Spread one half of the chocolate
batter into a greased 8-inch square baking pan. Pour cream cheese
filling over bottom layer. Gently spread remaining brownie batter
over the cream cheese layer. Pull a metal spatula through the batter
for a marbleized effect. Bake in 350 oven for approximately 40
minutes. Do not over bake. Cool and serve plain, dusted with powdered
sugar, or topped with Chocolate Glaze. CHOCOLATE GLAZE: In small
saucepan, bring cream to a boil. Cool to room temperature. Melt
chocolate and butter over simmering water. Blend in cream. Spread on
cooled brownies. Sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts and slice into bars.
