Rich, fudgy heart-shaped brownies with a creamy cheesecake topping and a swirl of tangy raspberry sauce, perfect for Valentine’s Day or any romantic occasion.

Ingredients

Raspberry Sauce:

  • 1 cup raspberries (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cheesecake Topping:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Brownie Batter:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • ¾ cup Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ + 2 tbsp cup refined coconut oil or neutral oil
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Raspberry Sauce: Simmer raspberries, sugar, and vanilla over medium heat for 5–8 minutes until thickened. Strain to remove seeds and set aside.
  2. Cheesecake Topping: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add egg and vanilla, then mix until creamy.
  3. Brownie Batter: Whisk flour, cocoa, and salt in one bowl. In another bowl, mix oil, sugar, and vanilla. Add eggs one by one. Combine both mixtures just until blended.
  4. Assembly: Spread brownie batter in lined pan. Pour cheesecake mixture on top. Spoon raspberry sauce over and swirl gently with a skewer.
  5. Baking: Bake at 350°F for 30–35 minutes. Cool completely, then chill for 2 hours. Cut into heart shapes and serve.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature cream cheese and eggs for a smooth texture.
  • Strain the raspberry sauce to remove seeds for the best mouthfeel.
  • Chill completely before cutting into heart shapes.
