Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 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 Sauce

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Pan: Line an 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal after baking. Lightly coat the lining with cooking spray to prevent sticking to ensure the brownies come out cleanly.
  2. Make the Raspberry Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and a splash of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the berries break down into a saucy mixture. Mash the raspberries with a spoon or use an immersion blender for a smoother consistency. Bring to a gentle boil for a few minutes to thicken, then remove from heat. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve to remove seeds and set aside the smooth raspberry sauce.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to preheat while you prepare the batter, ensuring it reaches the correct temperature before baking.
  4. Prepare the Chocolate Mixture: In a larger saucepan, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is silky smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly; placing it in the refrigerator can help speed up the cooling process.
  5. Mix Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together with 1 cup sugar and the vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly pour this mixture into the cooled chocolate mixture while stirring continuously to temper the eggs and prevent them from cooking prematurely.
  6. Finalize and Bake the Brownie Batter: Add the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda into the chocolate-egg mixture. Stir until just combined and the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Spoon small dollops of the raspberry sauce onto the surface and use a knife to swirl the sauce gently throughout the batter, creating a marbled raspberry swirl effect.
  7. Bake the Brownies: Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang and cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Using fresh or frozen raspberries works well; if using frozen, do not thaw before cooking the sauce.
  • Tempering the eggs slowly into the chocolate mixture is essential to avoid scrambling.
  • The raspberry sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, you can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with bittersweet chocolate.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely to set properly and improve texture before slicing.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
