Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

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

Equipment

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

Method
 

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

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.
