RECIPE: Raspberry Cream Cheese Marbled Brownies

Ugh my fav, so yum!

Ingredients:

Brownie Base:

  • 1/2 cup butter

  • 4 squares unsweetened baking chocolate (each square is usually 1 oz each, in case yours isn’t use 4 oz total πŸ™ƒ) 

  • 2 cups sugar

  • 2 tablespoons raspberry liqueur (optional –– I add it if I have it and don’t if I don’t. No biggie!) 

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Filling:

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese 

  • 1/3 cup sugar 

  • 1 egg

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 

  • 1/2 cup raspberry preserves

directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease a glass 13 x 9 inch baking pan. 

In a saucepan, combine butter & baking chocolate. Melt over low heat, stirring constantly (if you don’t… it will burn, baby burn!) 

Cool slightly and stir in 2 cups of sugar + the liqueur. 

Add eggs one at a time (beating after each addition). 

Add flour, baking powder and salt. Stir until the consistency is even. Spread filling in the glass pan and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine all filling ingredients. Beat at a medium speed with an electric mixer until it’s smooth. Pour the filling evenly over the brownie batter. 

Drop preserves onto the filling with a spoon into dollops. 

Swirl the filling and preserves by dragging a table knife through it in a pattern. The result should be a light marbled effect. 

Bake for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. 

Cool before cutting and ENJOY!

I’m happy using my mom’s white one she’s had since I was legit born… but I’m saving up for this bubble-gum pink edition as my first big-girl purchase in my post-COVID new apartment.
