Chocolate Raspberry Brownies – Chocolate brownies layered with cream filling raspberry jam and topped with semisweet chocolate. Delicious bars are the best with a cream cheese layer and delicious raspberry jam.
I had quite a lot of fun coming up with these delicious brownies. I can not lie. I have way too much fun making desserts. Well, I have loads of fun eating them too. Except working it off isn’t always fun.
It was next to impossible to have only one of these Chocolate Raspberry Brownies. I mean just look at that picture. But I do have self-control and I did it!
Here’s the deal:
Layer 1: Homemade Brownies (but if you need to…substitute for your favorite [healthier, is possible] boxed brownie)
Layer 2: Raspberry Jam or Preserves
Layer 3: White Chocolate and Cream Cheese mixture
Layer 4: Chocolate Ganache
Sigh. I really hope there are brownies in heaven. Or at least something that tastes and looks as good. They are definitely my dessert of choice.
I’m not going to lie to you. These have a bunch of calories and are not low in fat by any means. So please save them for special occasions. But when you indulge these will surely make your sweet tooth sing. So good. And I love adding berries to things this time of year.
Hope you enjoy these delicious layered Chocolate Raspberry Brownies!

Notes
I recommend storing the brownies in the fridge. Pull out 15 minutes before serving so they're not as cold.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Melanie – this was the fastest I scrolled through your post – one look at these chocolate/raspberry beauts had me drooling and a craving hit so hard – I have to look and run…

Brownies are definitely a weakness of mine and to top it with cream cheese and fruit, I think I fell into heaven already. (pinning!)
Weakness of mine too Connie! Thanks for pinning!

Thanks Shannon!
These brownies look sooooo yummy 🙂
I would love for you to share this at my T.G.I.F. Linky Party @ MamasBlogCentral.com 🙂 Have a great weekend!!
These look delicious! I’m hoping to bake them for a party this weekend. I know this may be shameful, but is it okay to use brownie mix instead?
Yes, go for it! I even occasionally go for the easy route. Although I typically try to avoid it. Enjoy!
I made these last night for a family party. They were AMAZING! I’m currently making another batch to take to work tomorrow!
Thanks so much Danielle for the feedback. I’m sure your coworkers will love you!
Have a wonderful day!
20 “large” brownies…lol
I know it’s been a while since you posted this but I just came across it on Pinterest and I plan to make it very soon! Looks absolutely delicious!! One question though – is this for an 8×8 or 9×13? It says 8×8 but then it says it yields 20 large brownies. Thanks!
Yes, it has been awhile Melissa but I’m pretty confident that it was an 8 x 8 pan. I think when I wrote large I was referrring the the heftiness of each brownie with all those layers. 4 layers of decadence. 🙂
Hope pyou have an amazing day! Thanks for stopping by.
These brownies are incredible! Don’t forget to cut them before they chill too long or the chocolate on top will be hard to cut. Thanks for the recipe!
Oh my goodness! I tried out this recipe yesterday, and let me tell ya, these brownies are the bees knees, lol!! Hubby loved them too, which in my mind, = success. Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
Thanks for letting me know Miranda! So glad you all enjoyed them. 🙂
Have a blessed day!
