I always like to have every palate covered at the dessert table. What this means is I need something for everyone. But I am in Spring mode, and fudgy chocolate brownies just seem so winter to me.
I had to find a way to incorporate the chocolate favorite, but add something springy and fresh to it. Raspberries. I think I should rename these brownies-The Best of Both Worlds Brownies. Because that is exactly what they are, rich chocolate fudge brownies swirled with light and fresh raspberry cheesecake.
This past weekend I made these brownies for a party. They were a huge hit! Make these for your weekend brunch to satisfy those chocolate lovers!
