How to Make Raspberry Truffle Brownies:

To get some Raspberry Truffle Brownies going, start by making a pan of brownies from scratch.

This specific brownies from scratch recipe includes instant coffee and semi-sweet chocolate chips to make the brownies themselves super rich with a deep chocolate flavor.

Once the brownies are baked and cooled, prepare the raspberry truffle filling.

Making raspberry truffle filling may sound complicated, but the filling is made with just 4 simple ingredients: 

• cream cheese, 
• semi-sweet chocolate chips, 
• powdered sugar, and 
• raspberry jam.  

And that filling actually comes together pretty easily.

To make the truffle filling, simply melt the chocolate chips in a saucepan and then let them cool for about a half an hour. Then beat some softened cream cheese until it's fluffy and add in confectioners' sugar and raspberry jam. Once that's all combined, stir in the melted chocolate -- and that's it!

Pretty easy, right? -- But oh, the fabulous flavor makes it seem like the truffle filling took all day to create!

Spread the finished filling evenly over the cooled brownies to create their beautifully creamy raspberry truffle layer.

Finish the brownies off with a decorative chocolate drizzle on the top.

I find the easiest way to drizzle the chocolate, both from a technique and a clean-up perspective, is to use a small plastic ziploc baggie.

To pipe with a small ziploc baggie, place some chocolate chips and shortening in the bag, seal it, and place the bag in a bowl of warm water to soften the chocolate. Then gently knead the chocolate with your fingers until it's melted and smooth, placing it back in the warm water for a minute or two if needed.

I find the easiest way to drizzle the chocolate, both from a technique and a clean-up stand-point, is to use a small plastic ziploc baggie.

Use scissors to snip a very small hole in the corner of the plastic bag. Then gently squeeze the chocolate through the hole to drizzle thin lines of chocolate over the truffle filling.

Drizzle stripes across the brownies in one direction, and then again in the opposite direction to create a cross-hatch pattern.

And then you've got one gorgeous pan of truffle-topped brownies, ready to dive into!

These tasty beauties are perfect for a special occasion, or anytime you just want a little chocolate indulgence. With their rich dark chocolate scratch-made brownies and layer of creamy raspberry truffle topping, they're decadently divine! -- And Raspberry Truffle Brownies may just join your list of favorite chocolate indulgences, just like they have mine.
