Raspberry Brownie Bites
 
Yield: 36
Ingredients
  • 2¼ cups semisweet chocolate morsels, divided*
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup confectioners’ sugar
  • ⅓ cup seedless raspberry jam
  • Garnish: dark chocolate shards
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with foil, letting some hang over sides to use as handles. Spray with cooking spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1¼ cups chocolate morsels and butter. Melt in a microwave oven at medium power, stirring at 1-minute intervals until combined and smooth.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat at medium speed with a mixer until blended. Add melted chocolate mixture, beating until incorporated.
  5. In another medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt, whisking well. Add flour mixture to egg mixture, beating at low speed until incorporated. Spread batter into prepared pan.
  6. Bake until edges look firm and center is somewhat firm to the touch, approximately 25 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
  7. Melt remaining 1 cup chocolate morsels according to package directions, and let cool.
  8. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar. Beat at medium speed with a mixer until blended. Add jam and cooled chocolate, beating just until incorporated. Using an offset spatula, spread mixture over cooled brownie.
  9. Garnish with dark chocolate shards, if desired.
  10. Refrigerate brownie until very cold, at least 4 hours and up to 24.
  11. Using foil handles, carefully lift brownie from pan and place on a cutting surface. Using a long sharp knife, pressing downward for clean cuts, and wiping knife between cuts, cut brownie into 36 squares.
