Step-by-Step Instructions for Heart-Shaped Brownies
- In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract over medium heat. Simmer for about 5-8 minutes until thickened. Strain the sauce to remove seeds and cool.
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth. Add egg and vanilla extract, mix until creamy and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix coconut oil, sugar, and vanilla extract. Gradually add eggs and mix well. Fold in dry ingredients.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Spread half of the brownie batter, pour cheesecake mixture on top, and dollop raspberry sauce before swirling.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until the center jiggles slightly. Cool completely and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before cutting into heart shapes.
- Cut into heart shapes using cookie cutters. Serve warm or chilled, with optional toppings like whipped cream or extra raspberry sauce.
