Ingredients

For the brownie layer:

  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 eggs

For the raspberry and whipped cream layers:

  • 1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 12 oz. can raspberry pie filling
  • 1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa, and salt. Melt butter in a large saucepan and remove from heat. Stir in sugar and vanilla. Quickly whisk in eggs, one at a time.
  • Add butter mixture to flour mixture and stir until well blended. Spread brownie batter into prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make raspberry and whipped cream layers. With an electric mixer on high speed, beat the cream cheese, raspberry pie filling, 1/4 cup sugar and lemon juice in a large bowl until well combined. Mix in the fresh raspberries (you want the raspberries to break apart when you mix them in).
  • In a separate bowl, beat the cream and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold 1 cup of the whipped cream into the raspberry mixture, refrigerate the remaining whipped cream. Spread the raspberry mixture evenly over the cooled brownies.
  • Chill for at least 30 minutes, then spread the remaining whipped cream over the raspberry layer.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. Cut into squares and serve. Garnish with chocolate shavings and fresh raspberries, if desired. Store leftover bars covered, in the refrigerator.
