Swirled chocolate raspberry brownies are loaded with a sweet, smooth berry sauce that you will adore.
I’ve been thinking about making these raspberry swirled brownies all week! Never find myself thinking about exercise, that’s for sure.
As much as I like using my favorite Ghirardelli brownie mix, I chose to haul out all the ingredients for homemade, including the raspberry sauce! I even left the Kitchen-Aid stand mixer alone and hand cranked these babies! Nothing makes you appreciate a good kitchen appliance more than going full on manual mode.
The brownie base is really quite simple to make and same goes for the sauce. My only dilemma was to leave the raspberry seeds in or not. I ended up straining them out to get a smoother swirl. You’ll end up with some sauce left over, which you can see in the photos. Once it cools it firms up like jelly. Bonus on toast the next morning!
