Description
Indulgent brownies with a creamy cheesecake layer and a burst of raspberry flavor, perfect for gatherings or cozy nights in.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, melt the butter, then mix in the sugar until well blended.
- Add the eggs one at a time, stirring in the vanilla extract after the last egg.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined.
- Pour approximately half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then incorporate the powdered sugar until well mixed. Spread this cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter.
- Spoon dollops of the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake layer, then swirl gently with a knife to achieve a marbled effect.
- Scatter the raspberries on top for a burst of flavor and color.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool before cutting them into squares. Enjoy!
