For best results, always weigh ingredients where a weight is provided
Instructions
FOR THE BROWNIE
Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F / 160C fan forced. Line an 8x8 inch square baking tin with baking paper.
On the VERY LOWEST heat, melt the butter and chocolate together in a saucepan, stirring regularly. Remove from heat.
Use a handheld beater to beat together both sugars and the eggs until lightened and frothy (about 1 minute).Sift over the flour, cocoa and salt and use a spatula to mix through until just combined.Add the melted chocolate and butter mixture and mix through, again until just combined.
Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and as soon as it is cool enough to handle, lift it out using the baking paper and transfer to a cooling rack.
FOR THE RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE CREAM
In a small bowl beat together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add HALF of the raspberry jam and salt and beat well. Add the cream and beat on high for 1 minute until light and smooth.
FOR THE RASPBERRY SAUCE
Stir together the remaining jam and 1.5 tablespoons of water. Strain out the seeds, making sure to push all the jam through the strainer.
TO ASSEMBLE
Take 2 pretty glasses or one medium glass bowl. Break the brownie into small chunks (you will only need half of the brownie for this dessert, the rest can be frozen for another time).
Make a layer of brownie in each glass, top with a layer of cream cheese, then the raspberry sauce. Repeat the layers. Top with nuts, pink fairy floss or sprinkles and serve.
Notes
I use a standard Australian 20ml tablespoon (4 teaspoons worldwide)
For best results, you should always weigh ingredients like flour and sugar. Kitchen scales are relatively cheap but if you can’t weigh the ingredients, use the spoon and level method (don’t scoop).
