Ingredients - Serves 12

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
Add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt to the bowl and fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Spread half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan.
Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture and raspberry jam onto the brownie batter.
Using a knife or toothpick, swirl the cream cheese and raspberry jam into the brownie batter to create a marbled effect.
Pour the remaining brownie batter over the top and smooth it out with a spatula.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
