Equipment

  • 1 9x9 inch baking pan
  • 1 mixing bowls
  • 1 electric mixer optional
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 set measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 parchment paper optional

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup fresh blackberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and lightly grease it if not using parchment.
  • In a mixing bowl, melt the butter. Whisk in sugar until combined, then add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  • In another bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Set aside the remaining batter.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Gently fold in fresh blackberries.
  • Pour the cheesecake layer over the brownie base in the baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the reserved brownie batter on top of the cheesecake layer and swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.

Notes

For a stronger blackberry flavor, you can use blackberry puree in the cheesecake layer.
These brownies can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week.
Top with additional fresh blackberries and whipped cream for an elegant presentation.
