Instructions

Prepare Raspberry Swirl

  1. 1Combine fresh raspberries and 2 tbsp granulated sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until raspberries break down and form a sauce, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. 2Remove from heat and press mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, if desired. Stir in heavy cream and set aside to cool slightly.

Prepare Brownie Batter

  1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.
  2. 2In a large bowl, whisk together melted unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until combined.
  3. 3Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. 4In a separate bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. 5Fold in the white chocolate chips.

Assemble and Bake Brownies

  1. 1Pour about two-thirds of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly.
  2. 2Dollop spoonfuls of the raspberry puree randomly over the batter. Drop the remaining brownie batter in spoonfuls over the raspberry puree.
  3. 3Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the raspberry and brownie batter together to create a marbled effect. Do not overmix the swirls.
  4. 4Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center (avoiding a raspberry swirl) comes out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter.
  5. 5Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and cutting into squares. This ensures fudginess and clean cuts, typical for bar desserts.

Tips

  • Ensure your melted butter isn't too hot when mixing with sugar and eggs to prevent cooking the eggs.
  • Avoid overbaking to keep these brownies moist and fudgy; they will continue to set as they cool.
  • For the cleanest cuts typical of bar desserts, chill the brownies for at least an hour before slicing.
