How to make Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies
- Note: Be sure and let your cream cheese sit out for a few hours to make sure it is nice and soft before mixing. You don’t want any lumps in your raspberry cheesecake brownies.
- Combine butter with 1 cup sugar and mix. Whisk in eggs on at a time.
- Melt the chocolate on the stove top or microwave and stir it in with the butter and sugar. Gently fold in 1 cup of flour.
- Butter a 9 x 13 baking pan and line with parchment paper.
- Put the cream cheese in a big bowl, add 2 eggs, 1 cup sugar and 1 tsp vanilla. Mix until smooth.
- Spread 2/3 of the brownie batter on the bottom of the pan.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture on top
- Dollop spoonfuls of remaining brownie mix on top of cheesecake layer and marble it together with a knife
- Sprinkle raspberries on top and push them into the cream cheese
- Bake for 40-45 minutes at 350 degrees F.
- Let the raspberry cheesecake brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares
- Allow to cool before cutting.
What is the Easiest way to cleanly cut Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies?
- Allow brownies to totally cool to room temperature or chill in the refrigerator.
- Use a disposable plastic knife, the kind you just throw away. A friend of mine shared this tip with me a few years ago and it works!
- If the knife picks up any crumbs while cutting just wipe them off before your next cut.

I tried the different flavour for my testing, which comprised of the originals, a white chocolate and strawberry version and a mixed chocolate and both fruit version; the mixed was the most popular, which really surprised me. Basically for my next development. I did the original brownie, adding in the white chocolate and strawberries, but I feel the strawberries are too much like you said. And then I tried this basic recipe of brownie without the creamcheese, except with my changes, with a low fat cheesecake actually on top of the brownie. The scoring was close, but I chose the cheesecake on top of this brownie mix, as I can then flavour the cheesecake for my next development. Ie: A ginger and chocolate cheesecake with the brownie base and a caramel cheesecake with this base, these are amoung my ideas. Possibly a summer fruits aswell might work well with the base. I feel if anyone wanted to try this recipe with white chocolate and strawberries, it does work well; however it has to be them alone, it doesn’t work with other fruits and is much sweeter than this recipe. I do love this recipe though and will definetly keep it at home 🙂

I made these for my food technology at school and they were my most popular product 🙂 was wondering, would they work with white chocolate? and strawberries? I’ve tried once and they were okay, much sweeter though. What do you think?
Leigh Anne says
Becca, I am not a huge fan of strawerries afte they have been baked so personally I don’t th ink I would care for it but white chocolate and raspberries is a favorite combination of mine! Let me know if you give it a try.

I’m making both the lime bars and these raspberry cheesecake brownies for a church event next weekend. Do you know if they freeze well? I’ve got a lot of baking to do, and would love to do a little each day! Also…what other bars did you decide to do for your event last year? Your recipes always save the day! (making the spinach chicken salad for RS broadcast this month…). Thanks!
