Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 bars
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 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 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup chocolate truffle filling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in granulated sugar until well combined and slightly smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour half the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- Gently place fresh raspberries across the first layer of batter, distributing them evenly.
- Drizzle chocolate truffle filling over the raspberries, creating a marbled effect.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the top, carefully covering the raspberries and truffle filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan for about 1 hour.
- Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the brownies out of the pan and cut into 12 equal bars.
- For best flavor, chill the bars for 30 minutes before serving to allow the truffle filling to set.
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs and butter for smoother batter integration
- Do not overmix the batter—this keeps brownies tender and fudgy
- For clean, precise cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it between slices
- Chill the bars before serving to enhance the truffle filling's texture
- Choose high-quality cocoa powder for richer chocolate flavor
- Line your pan with parchment paper for easy removal and perfect presentation
- Test brownies with a toothpick—a few moist crumbs are perfect, indicating a fudgy center
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days
