These Raspberry Spiked Chocolate Brownies are the ultimate chocolate dessert!
Over the last few weeks I have been hooked on brownies and blondes – and it’s easy to guess why!! Each recipe I have made, I’ve thought it to be the winner. However I think these Raspberry Spiked Chocolate Brownies with the combination of rich dark chocolate brownie with raspberries literally takes the cake (pun intended). These are sensational, the brownie is so rich and chocolatey, and the raspberries are such a great contrast and I guarantee you won’t be able to stop at just one. The centre is quite soft, and is GREAT warm with vanilla ice cream. My little helper enjoyed licking the bowl and couldn’t resist trying to have a piece while I was taking photos!
This recipe is different to my usual go to brownie recipe as this recipe actually contains chocolate instead of just cocoa. The extra ingredients (and calories) really are worth it though and the richness the dark chocolate gives these brownies is just amazing. As this recipe is quite fudge like, it’s VERY important to let the brownies cool completely before slicing into pieces as the brownie will continue to set while it cools.
Tips for Making this Raspberry Spiked Chocolate Brownies Recipe:
- You can use fresh or frozen raspberries for this recipe.
- The time it takes for the butter and chocolate to melt and combine will vary depending on the temperature of the ingredients. The times specified in this recipe are based on ingredients already at room temperature.
- It’s important to let the brownie cool completely in the baking tin before removing and cutting into pieces as it will continue to set whilst cooling.
- You can also use milk chocolate for this recipe however it won’t be quite as rich.
- These brownies are freezer friendly.
