Brownie Layer
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tablespoon water

Method

  2. Melt butter in a saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
  3. Stir in vanilla extract, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
  4. Gradually stir in flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan.
  6. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla extract.
  7. Spoon cheesecake batter over the brownie batter in dollops.
  8. Whisk together raspberry jam and water until smooth.
  9. Drizzle raspberry mixture over the cheesecake layer.
  10. Create swirls with a knife or toothpick.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  12. Let cool completely before cutting and serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate cocoa powder. Be careful not to overbake the brownies to keep them fudgy.
