Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies with Ganache 🍫🍰

 

Ingredients:

- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈

- 2 cups granulated sugar 🍚

- 1 cup all-purpose flour 🌾

- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 🍫

- 4 large eggs 🥚

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌼

- ½ teaspoon salt 🧂

- 8 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀

- ¼ cup granulated sugar (for cheesecake layer) 🍚

- 1 large egg (for cheesecake layer) 🥚

- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake layer) 🌼

- 1 cup fresh raspberries 🍇

- ½ cup heavy cream 🥛

- 4 oz dark chocolate, chopped 🍫

Directions:

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line

a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a large

bowl, whisk together the melted butter, 2 cups of sugar,

and 4 eggs until smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla

extract. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, mixing

until just combined. Pour the brownie batter into the

prepared pan, spreading it evenly. In a separate bowl,

beat the cream cheese until creamy, then add ¼ cup of

sugar, 1 egg, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing

until well combined. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries.

Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture onto the

brownie batter, using a knife to swirl them together for a

marbled effect. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the

brownies are set and a toothpick comes out with a few

moist crumbs. Let them cool completely. For the

ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until

it begins to simmer, then pour it over the chopped

chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for a couple of

minutes before whisking until smooth and glossy. Once

the brownies are cool, pour the ganache over the top,

spreading it evenly. Allow the ganache to set before

slicing.
