Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup eggs (about 2 large eggs)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup raspberry jam
- 8 ounces chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup shortening
Instructions:
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. | Melt chocolate with butter: In a saucepan, melt the chocolate with butter until smooth and creamy. Set aside to cool. |
| 2. | Beat eggs and sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. |
| 3. | Add chocolate and water: Gradually add the cooled chocolate mixture and water to the egg mixture, stirring until well combined. |
| 4. | Mix in flour and baking powder: Stir in the flour and baking powder until just combined, being careful not to overmix. |
| 5. | Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into a well-greased and floured 8-inch square baking pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. |
| 6. | Partially cool: Allow the brownies to cool partially in the pan before proceeding to the next step. |
| 7. | Prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the raspberry jam and beat again until well combined. |
| 8. | Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in the melted chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture. |
| 9. | Spread over brownies: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the somewhat cooled brownies in the pan. If left to cool completely, the layers may separate. |
| 10. | Make the glaze: In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate chips with the shortening until smooth, stirring constantly. |
| 11. | Drizzle over cream cheese layer: Drizzle the chocolate glaze over the cream cheese layer, creating a decorative pattern. |
| 12. | Chill before serving: Chill the brownies in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set. |
| 13. | Optional: Freeze for easier cutting: For easier slicing, you can partially freeze the brownies before cutting into squares. |
