Homemade fudgy brownies are swirled with sweet raspberry jam to create these decadent Raspberry Brownies. The flavor combination is perfection in this easy-to-make dessert recipe.
Raspberry and chocolate might be my new favorite flavor combination after whipping up and indulging in these raspberry brownies.
I’m not ashamed to admit that if I’m making brownies at home, I typically reach for my favorite boxed brownie mix. It’s what I’ve enjoyed since I was a kid so there’s something special about them.
Every once and a while I try a homemade brownie recipe (like my Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies or Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies) and I’m rarely disappointed. This recipe for raspberry brownies not only met but exceeded my expectations.
How great would these be for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or even Easter!
Why You’ll Enjoy This Recipe
- The flavor combination is perfect. My goodness, I just love how the chocolate and raspberry flavors work together in this recipe. The flavors somehow complement and enhance each other. It’s pretty magical.
- Amazing fudgy texture. I’m typically a cake-style brownie person, but this recipe may have flipped me to the fudgy side. These brownies stay really fudgy after baking so you may think they aren’t fully baked when in fact they are baked to perfection.
- Easy to make. I think the total hands-on time for this recipe is about 10-15 minutes. That’s it. The rest is just baking and cooling. If you can stir, you can handle this recipe.
Ingredients
Most of the ingredients for this raspberry brownie recipe are pretty straightforward. I have a hunch you probably have most of them in your pantry. However, I do have a couple of notes to guarantee success.
- semisweet chocolate – You want real chocolate here. Do not use chocolate chips.
- unsalted butter
- unsweetened cocoa powder – Cocoa powder really enhances the chocolate flavor.
- sugar
- vanilla extract
- eggs
- all-purpose flour
- kosher salt – I reach for kosher salt when baking as I like the flavor better.
- raspberry jam – This is the star ingredient so choose a great raspberry jam. My favorite is from Bonne Maman.

- Stir in the flour and salt.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and level with a spatula.
- Place spoonfuls of jam evenly across the top of the brown batter. Use a toothpick or wooden skewer to swirl the jam into the batter.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I store these brownies?
Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to four days.
Can you freeze these raspberry brownies?
Yes, you can. These brownies can be frozen for up to three months. Allow them to cool completely, then place them inside a freezer-friendly container layered with parchment paper. You can also freeze them individually by wrapping each brownie in plastic wrap.
Are these fudgy or cake-like brownies?
As I mentioned above, these are fudgy brownies. Because they are so fudgy, you may think they are underbaked when you cut into them, but they are not. Trust me.

Next level brownies! So good!
One of my favorite desserts is a brownie (on the generous size),home made whip cream, and a sprinkling of raspberries on top. Looks lush, but so easy. Your recipe with the addition of raspberries will push this over the top! I have some raspberry jam with chilies in it for a little heat, so will try with that. Thanks foe another great recipe
