Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with 2 cups granulated sugar until smooth and glossy.
3. Add 3 eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, then whisk until fully combined.
4. Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
5. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the brownie batter, then spread the remaining batter evenly into the prepared pan.
6. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup granulated sugar until smooth.
7. Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat until creamy.
8. Spread the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter.
9. Spoon the reserved brownie batter over the cheesecake layer, then scatter the raspberries on top.
10. Use a knife to gently swirl the brownie batter, cheesecake layer, and raspberries together.
11. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
12. Cool completely, then chill for at least 2 hours before slicing into squares.
Notes
Do not overbake the brownies. The center should still have a slight wobble when you take the pan out, because the cheesecake layer will continue to set as it cools and chills.
