  • Ingredients for Brownies:
  • 4 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
  • 1 & 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • Ingredients for Topping:
  • 4 ounce cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Minced zest of 1 lemon
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (If using frozen berries, don't thaw before using.)
  • Sifted powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Directions:
  2. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray.
  3. 2. Melt chocolate, butter, cocoa, and espresso powder for the brownies in a large bowl in the microwave oven on high power, stirring every 30 seconds, or in a saucepan over low heat. Remove mixture from heat when chocolate is nearly melted; stir until it's smooth.
  4. 3. Stir in the 1 & 1/2 cups granulated sugar, vanilla, and the 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the 3 eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition.
  5. 4. Fold in flour, mixing just until blended. Spread batter into the prepared pan: set aside.
  6. 5. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat cream cheese, the 1/4 cup granulated sugar, zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt for the topping in a bowl until smooth, about 5 minutes.
  7. 6. Blend in the 1 egg, then spread cheesecake batter over unbaked brownie batter.
  8. 7. Top cheesecake layer with raspberries. Bake brownies until cheesecake is set and golden around edges (a toothpick inserted in the center will come out gooey...it's okay), about 1 hour. Cool brownies in pan on a rack to room temperature, about 45 minutes. Cover brownies with plastic wrap: chill 8 hours or overnight.
  9. 8. Dust brownies with powdered sugar before serving. Cut brownies into small squares with a lightly oiled knife.
