Step 1: To start with our lovely vanilla cheesecake brownies preheat the oven to 170 °C. Line a 30 x 20 baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2: To make the brownie, roughly chop the chocolate and put in a heatproof bowl over a water bath (do not boil). Let the chocolate melt.

Step 3: Add the butter and sugar to a mixing bowl and beat until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time and mix well. Slowly add the flour, then mix at high speed until smooth.

Step 4: Slowly pour in the melted chocolate and mix until combined. Pour the dough in the baking tray.

Step 5: For the cheesecake layer add the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl and slowly mix until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and eggs one by one while mixing.

Step 6: Carefully pour over the brownie batter and swirl with a fork. Sprinkle the raspberries on top.

Step 7: Bake for 30 – 40 minutes until the cheesecake is set. Let cool completely, then refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.

Keep our vanilla cheesecake brownies in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
