Chocolate Glazed Raspberry Cream Brownies

Chocolate Glazed Raspberry Cream Brownie

 Homemade Chocolate Brownie topped with Raspberry Cream Cheese, topped with a sinful chocolate glaze.

My Teenage Son was having friends over after school the other day & I decided it was a perfect time to try a new goodie recipe. It's always nice to have a new test group to work with!  Although, teenage boys will eat just about anything!

I was inspired to create something with this combination of flavors after trying the new chocolate/raspberry flavored M&M's - Has anyone tried them?--They are awesome!  I browsed around looking at all kids of cream cheese brownie recipes, but nothing really stood out to me.  So, I played around in the kitchen long enough to come up with these pretty little bars. 

Chocolate Glazed Raspberry Cream Brownies

Brownie                                          

2 Cups White Sugar                                                    

1 Cup Butter                                                                

1/2 Cup Cocoa Powder                                                

4 Teaspoons Raspberry Extract

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

4 Eggs

1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour

1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder

1/2 Teaspoon Salt

Melt Butter and mix all Ingredients in order given.  Spread Batter into a greased 9x13 Pan, set aside.  Next, prepare the Raspberry Cream Filling:

Raspberry Cream

8 Ounces Cream Cheese

1/3 Cup White Sugar

1 Egg

2 Teaspoons Raspberry Extract

1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

6 Drops Red Food Coloring

Mix Raspberry Cream Ingredients together until smooth.  Pour over brownie batter & spread with spatula until brownies are completely covered.  Bake in 350 degree oven for 20- 30 minutes. Do not overbake- Mine took about 20 minutes. 

Chocolate Glaze

3/4 Cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

1 1/2  Tablespoons Butter

3 Tablespoons Corn Syrup

2 Teaspoons Milk

Melt Chocolate Chips & Butter in Microwave until smooth.  Add Corn Syrup & Milk to mixture & stir until combined.  Pour over cooled brownies.  Let brownies set for at least an hour before cutting.

These brownies taste even better the next day after the cream cheese gets a chance to completely moisten....so yummy!  Enjoy!
