Equipment

  • 1 Baking pan (8x8 square)
  • 1 Heart Cutter (Stainless steel)
  • 1 Hand mixer (For smooth cheese)

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Unsalted butter - Melted and cooled
  • 1 ¼ cups Granulated sugar - Divided for layers
  • 3 large Eggs - Divided for layers
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract - Pure extract
  • ⅓ cup Cocoa powder - Unsweetened
  • ½ cup All-purpose flour - Sifted
  • 8 oz Cream cheese - Softened
  • ¼ cup Raspberry puree - Seedless

Instructions 

  • Whisk the melted butter and 1 cup of sugar together until fully combined and smooth.
  • Beat in two eggs and vanilla until the mixture looks glossy and well incorporated.
  • Stir in the cocoa and flour with a spatula until no dry streaks remain.
  • Whip the cream cheese, remaining sugar, and last egg until the texture is light.
  • Pour the brownie batter into a lined pan and top with cheesecake and raspberry.
  • Swirl the top layers with a toothpick to create a marbled red and white pattern.
  • Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes until the center is set and no longer wobbly.

Notes

Chill the baked brownies thoroughly before using a cutter to ensure clean edges. Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free cheesecake swirl.
