Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (225 grams)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder

Raspberry Swirl

  • 1/2 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • A small amount of water (about 2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Raspberry Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and a small amount of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set aside to cool.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate chips together until smooth. Stir occasionally to combine and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and 1 cup granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract, then slowly incorporate the melted chocolate mixture, mixing until combined.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing to ensure fudgy brownies.
  5. Assemble the Brownies: Pour half of the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 8×8 inch baking pan. Spoon half of the raspberry sauce over the batter. Add the remaining brownie batter on top. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining raspberry sauce over the surface and use a knife or skewer to swirl the raspberry sauce into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
  6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the brownies for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. This helps the swirl set and the brownies firm up for easier slicing.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries for the sauce; thaw frozen raspberries before cooking.
  • For extra fudgy brownies, do not overbake. Check at 30 minutes and adjust as necessary.
  • Straining the raspberry mixture ensures a smooth swirl without seeds.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a vegan margarine and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
