More About This Recipe
- This recipe was directly inspired by the raspberry-studded cheesecake brownies that’s currently living on my website. The inspiration for both recipes comes from my husband, a lover of all things chocolate and cheesecake. His standard dessert suggestion is always either “something with chocolate” or cheesecake. Since cheesecake can be a bit of a time commitment, in the name of efficiency and time, it’s usually brownies that win. These cherry-jeweled, cheesecake-swirled brownies are the best of both worlds and bring together three flavors that are delicious when paired together but even better as a trio. Not only are these wickedly delicious, they are so easy to make. A total win all around.
