Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies
Every year, I make brownies for Valentine’s Day. Sometimes it is strawberry cheesecake brownies while other times it is peanut butter brownies but regardless of what type I make, they are always a hit. I feel like brownies and Valentine’s Day are meant to go together! For Valentine’s Day this year, I wanted to make a batch of raspberry cheesecake brownies. The thing I like about this recipe is that it can be as easy or as hard as you want it to be. For the base recipe, it is just 5 simple ingredients – brownie mix, cream cheese, sugar, egg, and raspberry jam. Super easy to make and ingredients you probably already have. Now you can get fancier by making brownies from scratch or using homemade raspberry jam but that’s totally up to you! These brownies are great as a dessert any night of the year or as a special Valentine’s Day treat!
