- Cream cheese

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.

Leigh Anne, what a great recipe and not that many ingredients either! I’m sure the fresh or frozen raspberries would be best but wonder if preserves or jam might work in a pinch?
I clicked on the Duth Girl Cooking link and loved seeing her photography and recipes. I wondered at first if she was an American living in the Netherlands as her English was so good. Then I saw a “translater” at the bottom and clicked on it randomly and was reading in Danish! Then I changed it to French. Amazing! I can see I have a lot to learn in the blogging world. Thanks for leading the way.

Im confused on the chocolate. Do you mean 7oz of a chunk of chocolate? Or chocolate chips? Or chocolate powder? How did you measure 7oz of it?
