Preparation

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until smooth.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract; whisk until the batter is glossy and creamy.
  4. Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt; gently fold until combined.
  5. For the raspberry sauce, cook raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan until a sauce forms.
  6. Strain the raspberry sauce and thicken if desired with cornstarch and water.
  7. Beat together cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth for the filling.
  8. Pour half of the brownie batter into the pan, add cream cheese mixture and raspberry sauce in dollops, then swirl together.
  9. Pour the remaining brownie batter on top and repeat the swirling process.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is set. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  11. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
