Ingredients
113g unsalted butter
100g granulated sugar
50g brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
65g all-purpose flour
30g unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
225g cream cheese, softened
50g powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake)
1/3 cup seedless raspberry preserves
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting later.
2. Melt butter in a saucepan, remove from heat, then whisk in both sugars until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
3. Stir in eggs and vanilla extract. Then mix in cocoa powder, flour, and salt until combined—do not overmix.
4. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
5. Pour two-thirds of the brownie batter into the pan. Add dollops of cheesecake mix and raspberry preserves on top. Spoon the remaining brownie batter over and gently swirl with a knife.
6. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
7. Cool completely in the pan. For cleaner cuts, chill for 30 minutes before slicing.
8. Slice into squares, clean the knife between cuts, and enjoy!
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free cheesecake layer.
Don’t overbake—pull them out when a toothpick shows moist crumbs, not dry.
Chill before slicing to get clean edges and better texture.
