Ingredients
  

  • Blackberry Swirl
  • 1 ¼ cups blackberries
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Cheesecake Layer
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • Brownie Batter
  • 1 cup butter
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1 ¼ cups sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Heat berries, sugar, and lemon; mash, strain, and cool.
  2. Beat cream cheese, sugar, yolk, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Melt butter and chocolate; whisk in sugars, then eggs and vanilla.
  4. Fold in flour, cocoa, and salt.
  5. Pour most batter into lined pan. Add cheesecake spoonfuls and blackberry puree.
  6. Swirl with a knife, then bake at 350°F for 35–40 minutes.
  7. Cool completely before cutting.

Notes

  • Let cream cheese soften fully before mixing.
  • Don’t over-swirling or you’ll muddy the layers.
  • Fresh blackberries create stronger flavor than jam.
  • Chill before slicing for clean layers.
