Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a heart-shaped baking pan.
- Melt the butter in a large bowl. Stir in the granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

- Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter, then spoon dollops of raspberry puree on top.
- Gently swirl the cream cheese and raspberry into the brownie batter with a knife. Don’t overmix.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely, slice into heart shapes, and serve. Sprinkle with chocolate chips if desired.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest swirl. Warm raspberry puree if it’s too thick. Don’t overbake; check at 30 minutes.
