Raspberry Cheesecake Swirl Brownies
With a fudgy brownie base, creamy cheesecake and sweet raspberry jam, these Raspberry Cheesecake Swirl Brownies are an indulgent sweet treat that your family and party guests will go nuts over.
Servings: 12 pieces
Ingredients
Cheesecake layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup seedless Raspberry preserves or jam
Brownie Layer
- 1 box brownie + ingredients called for or your favorite 13x9" recipe
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 13-inch x 9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix brownie batter. Pour ⅔ of the batter into the prepared baking dish and set the remainder aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg yolk and vanilla together until fluffy and smooth.
- Warm the raspberry preserves in the microwave for about 10 seconds.
- Add dollops of the cream cheese mixture randomly around the brownie mixture. Then teaspoon-sized dollops of the raspberry preserves. Gently and carefully “spread” the remaining brownie mixture over and between the cream cheese and raspberry layers. Glide a knife a few times through the layers to create a swirl effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cheesecake should be set in the center (not jiggly).
- Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
Have you ever had trouble getting brownies out of a pan, especially that first piece? Maybe it sticks to the side or it crumbles as you cut it and try to jimmy it out of the pan. Well the liner acts as “handle” and allows you to LIFT the brownies right out of the pan! You can either use this method to set the brownies on a cooling rack so they cool quicker, or just lay it on a cutting board so you can easily slice right into the brownies without making a completely mess!
