Raspberry Truffle Brownies Recipe
  • Prep: 30 min. Bake: 25 min. + chilling
  • Yield: 12 Servings
30 25 55

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • FROSTING:
  • 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 fresh raspberries

Directions

  • In a microwave, melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla. Stir in chocolate mixture. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to chocolate mixture just until combined. Gently fold in raspberries.
  • Spread into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (do not overbake). Cool on a wire rack.
  • For frosting, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate, cream and jam. Microwave at 50% power for 2-3 minutes or until smooth, stirring twice. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in vanilla. Place in a bowl of ice water; stir for 3-5 minutes. With a hand mixer, beat on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  • Cut a small hole in a corner of a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag; insert #825 star tip. Fill with 1/2 cup frosting. Spread remaining frosting over brownies. Cut into 12 bars. Pipe a chocolate rosette in the center of each brownie; top with a raspberry. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until frosting is set. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 1 dozen.

I have made these delicious brownie 4 times now with the fifth in the oven at this time. They are the best brownie I have ever made and I did not change anything.

With a very busy schedule, I made these using a good quality boxed brownie mix and added fresh raspeberries along with raspberry jam. These were yummy!

Delish! I used the left over jam (from a small jar) to create a layer between the brownie and the frosting! It was yum!
