Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 large egg
- 250g cream cheese
- 85g unsalted butter
- 50g dark chocolate
- 150g packed brown sugar
- 50g granulated white sugar
Dry Ingredients:
- 95g all-purpose flour
- 50g Dutch process cocoa
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Liquid and Flavor Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 60 milliliters (1/4 cup) sour cream
- 60 milliliters (1/4 cup) raspberry compote
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 175°C and lining an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage of the bottom and sides.
- Create the rich chocolate base by gently melting dark chocolate and butter together in a saucepan, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Incorporate sugars into the chocolate mixture, whisking thoroughly to achieve a uniform consistency and develop deep flavor notes.
- Introduce eggs individually into the chocolate mixture, blending after each addition to create a silky texture, then infuse with vanilla extract for aromatic depth.
- Carefully sift dry ingredients – flour, cocoa powder, and salt – directly into the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined to maintain a fudgy brownie texture.
- Transfer the chocolate batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly and creating a smooth foundation for the cheesecake layer.
- Prepare the creamy cheesecake topping by beating cream cheese until completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Blend sugar into the cream cheese, then integrate the egg, vanilla, and sour cream, mixing until the mixture becomes light and velvety.
- Gently fold raspberry compote through the cheesecake mixture, creating a marbled effect with vibrant color and fruity swirls.
- Delicately spread the cheesecake layer over the brownie base, using a spatula to ensure complete coverage.
- Create artistic swirls by dragging a knife through both layers, connecting the chocolate and raspberry cheesecake elements.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, watching for a slight wobble in the center that indicates perfect doneness.
- Allow the dessert to cool completely in the pan, which helps set the layers and intensify flavors.
- Once cooled, lift out using parchment paper edges and slice into elegant squares for serving.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality dark chocolate and real white chocolate for richer, more complex flavor profiles.
- Ensure ingredients like cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature to create smoother, more homogeneous mixtures.
- Control raspberry swirling technique by using a toothpick or thin knife for delicate, artistic marble patterns on top of the cheesecake layer.
- Keep brownie edges from over-browning by covering pan with aluminum foil during last 10-15 minutes of baking if they start to darken too quickly.
