Description
Fudgy chocolate brownies swirled with tangy raspberry preserves for a rich, indulgent dessert with a bright fruity twist.
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup raspberry preserves (seedless preferred)
1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth and glossy.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
- Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix raspberry preserves with lemon juice. Drop spoonfuls over the batter and swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 28–32 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 squares.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to maintain a fudgy texture.
Lemon juice enhances the raspberry flavor but is optional.
You can substitute strawberry or blackberry preserves for variation.
Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Freeze individually wrapped brownies for up to 2 months.
