Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup raspberry puree
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a heart-shaped baking pan well.
- In a bowl, mix the sugar and melted butter until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
- Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar, egg, and lemon juice until creamy.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter. Then swirl in the raspberry puree with a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let it cool completely before cutting into heart shapes. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Use room-temperature eggs and cream cheese for smoother mixing. Don’t overmix the brownie batter to keep them fudgy. Add a dusting of powdered sugar for presentation and serve with fresh raspberries.
