How to Make It
Note:This is an overview. See recipe card below for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
1. Prep the Brownie Base Whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in flour, cocoa powder and salt - mix just until combined. Spread evenly in your prepared pan, creating a smooth, even layer.
2. Make the Cheesecake Topping Beat cream cheese until smooth, then mix in sugar, egg and vanilla. Spread this evenly over the uncooked brownie base, leaving just a slim border visible.
3. Add the Raspberry Swirls Drop spoonfuls of raspberry jam over the cheesecake layer. Use a toothpick to gently swirl just the cheesecake and jam together - avoid disturbing the brownie layer beneath.
