Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 egg yolk

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 cup fresh raspberries (or thawed frozen raspberries)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined.

Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, egg yolk, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.

Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture onto the brownie batter, gently swirling it with a knife for a marbled effect.

Scatter the raspberries over the cheesecake layer, pressing them in slightly.

Pour the remaining brownie batter over the raspberry cheesecake mixture, spreading it carefully.

Using a knife, gently swirl the layers together for a beautiful marbled look.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
