Hello all! Happy Valentine’s Day or if you’re me, Happy Eat as Much Chocolate as you Want with NO Guilt Day! I hope you all have a fabulous day filled with sweets. If you haven’t already had your fill of baked goods, I would highly recommend these cream cheese raspberry brownies. They were not nearly as hard as I expected and they are super yummy!

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons butter

4 oz bittersweet chocolate

2 eggs, beaten

¾ cup sugar

½ cup flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon sale

1 teaspoon vanilla

Cream Cheese Layer

4 oz cream cheese, room temp

2 tablespoons butter, room temp

2 tablespoons sugar

1 egg

2 tablespoons raspberry jam

½ teaspoon vanilla

1 tablespoon flour

½ cup raspberries

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 and line an 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper.

Melt chocolate and butter in microwave until just melted, let cool slightly.

Whisk 2 beaten eggs into chocolate mixture. Add sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined. Stir well, add vanilla and spread mixture into bottom of prepared pan.

Stir together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add sugar, egg, and jam and mix well. Stir in flour and vanilla. Dollop onto brownie mixture and use a mutter knife to swirl into the brownies.

Press fresh raspberries into the top. I also sprinkled some extra dark chocolate chips on top.

Bake until a toothpick comes out with only a few moist crumbs, 30-35 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting.

Enjoy these yummies and let me know if you want to be my taste tester! I have so many brownies! Until next time…
