Remember my Tinsel review? I tried their cheesecake brownie and loved it! I like a brownie from time to time, but I often think it's too overpowering and heavy. I love that the cream cheese neutralizes the heaviness and makes it a little fresher! I was looking for delicious things to make and suddenly thought that cheesecake brownies would be perfect.

I was browsing the internet for some recipe inspiration and I saw that there were a lot of recipes that added raspberries. When I saw that, doing the same was inevitable. I mean, raspberries make everything better. And just think about cheesecake & raspberries? Oh boy! A whole while back, I made a cheesecake with cherries which was delicious, so that couldn't be any different with this recipe.

I'm not going to lie: it's quite some work and definitely cleaning up afterwards isn't the most fun. Since there are 2 layers, you'll be needing two bowls, meaning more stuff to clean up later. If you have some free time and if you want to make everyone around you love you, this is the recipe to go for though. I don't mind spending a lot of time in the kitchen as it flies by, and I can honestly say this recipe is so worth it.

I do recommend finding some victims to share these brownies with, as they're too tempting not to eat. One piece is definitely enough for me, so don't go for that second serving. Trust me, you'll regret it. It's better to save the second piece for the next day, because 1) not nauseous 2) dessert every day! Let me know whether you liked it if you make it, because I'm 99.9% sure you will!
