  • medium bowl
  • Large bowl
  • electric hand mixer
  • saucepan

Ingredients
  

Brownie batter

  • 5 oz bittersweet chocolate with 70% cocoa solids, coarsely chopped I like this one
  • 6 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • cup plus 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

Cheesecake batter

  • 9 oz brick cream cheese, softened
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Raspberry swirl

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

  • fresh raspberries for topping

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang at each side.
  • Combine chocolate and butter in a saucepan over very low heat, stir constantly until melted and smooth, or melt in the microwave.
  • In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt, and whisk until pale and thick. Whisk in the melted chocolate mixture until smooth.
  • Sprinkle flour over the mixture and fold it in. Reserve about ⅓ cup of brownie batter and spread the rest evenly into the prepared pan.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth and incorporate the egg.
  • Spread the cheesecake batter evenly over the brownie batter, then spoon the reserved brownie batter randomly over top.
  • In a small bowl, combine raspberries, sugar, and corn starch, then mash with a fork. Spoon mixture over the batter and swirl with a skewer.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes until puffed and the cheesecake is set. Cool completely in the pan and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality chocolate and fresh raspberries.
