Ingredients
  

For the Raspberry Purée
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries Fresh raspberries yield the best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
For the Brownies
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (225 g)
  • 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped (225 g)
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar (300 g)
  • 3 large eggs Use room temperature for better mixing.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125 g)
  • 0.25 cup cocoa powder (30 g)
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes, mashing gently until a thick purée forms. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  3. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter and chopped chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth. Once fully melted, remove from heat.
  4. Whisk the granulated sugar into the chocolate mixture. Next, add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, ensuring everything is fully combined.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  2. Drop spoonfuls of raspberry purée on top and gently swirl it through the batter using a knife to create a marbled effect.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly fudgy.
  4. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing for the best texture and clean edges.

Notes

Serve brownies warm or at room temperature. For an extra touch, dust them with powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
