Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Raspberry Swirl Ingredients

  • 1 cup (125g) fresh or frozen raspberries (if frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Batter: Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Whisk in granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to create a glossy batter. Stir in vanilla extract. Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. The batter will be thick and rich.
  2. Make the Raspberry Swirl: Combine fresh or thawed raspberries with powdered sugar in a blender or food processor. Blend until a smooth puree forms with no seeds. For an even smoother swirl, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove any remaining seeds.
  3. Assemble the Brownies: Pour half of the brownie batter into a greased or parchment-lined 8×8-inch baking pan. Dollop half of the raspberry puree on top of the batter. Spread the remaining brownie batter over the raspberry layer carefully. Spoon the remaining raspberry puree in small drops over the surface, then use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the fruit into the batter, creating marbled patterns.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—it should come out with moist crumbs but no raw batter. The brownies should be fudgy yet hold their shape once cooled.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to set the swirl and texture. Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy the harmonious combination of chocolate and raspberry flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh raspberries to avoid a watery swirl and to bring out optimal tartness.
  • Fold dry ingredients gently to keep brownies tender and avoid a cakey texture.
  • Swirl the raspberry puree lightly to create pretty marbled patterns without fully mixing it into the batter.
  • Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter consistency.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting to prevent crumbling.
