Ingredients
For the Brownie Batter
- Unsalted butter
- Cocoa powder
- Granulated sugar
- Brown sugar
- Eggs
- Vanilla extract
- All-purpose flour
- Salt
- White chocolate chips or chunks
For the Swirl
- Raspberry preserves or jam (thick, seedless or lightly seeded)
Step-by-Step Method
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter until just liquid. Whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth and glossy. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar, mixing until fully combined.
Whisk in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the flour and salt, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in most of the white chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for the top.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Spoon small dollops of raspberry preserves over the surface of the batter. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the jam into the batter to create a marbled pattern, stopping before the colors blend too much. Sprinkle the remaining white chocolate chips on top.
Bake until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out and slicing into squares.
Tips for Best Results
Use a thick raspberry jam to keep the swirls defined and vibrant. Avoid over-swirling so the raspberry stays visible instead of blending fully into the batter. For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake and let them finish setting as they cool.
Serving and Storage
Serve these brownies as they are, dusted lightly with powdered sugar, or paired with vanilla ice cream. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for several days, or refrigerate for longer freshness. They also freeze well when wrapped individually.
Rich, fruity, and irresistibly fudgy, these white chocolate raspberry swirl brownies are a dessert everyone will ask you to make again.
