Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks or 226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 ounces (113g) unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces (226g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (about 5 ounces or 140g) fresh blackberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the blackberry swirl: Combine 1 cup fresh blackberries, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Mash some berries gently. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
  3. Melt 1 cup unsalted butter and 4 ounces chopped unsweetened chocolate together gently until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  4. Whisk 2 cups granulated sugar into the chocolate mixture. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, until smooth and shiny. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet chocolate mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour about two-thirds of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Prepare the cream cheese filling: Beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese and ¼ cup granulated sugar until light and smooth. Beat in 1 large egg and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined.
  9. Dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter in the pan.
  10. Randomly dollop spoonfuls of the cooled blackberry compote over the cream cheese layer.
  11. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining one-third of the brownie batter on top of the cream cheese and blackberry dollops.
  12. Use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the layers together, creating marbled patterns. Avoid over-swirling.
  13. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  14. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours, or refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) for best results.
  15. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies from the pan. Cut into squares and serve.
