Raspberry Cheesecake Brownie Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Grease two 24-cup nonstick mini-muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
• For the brownie batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder and vanilla until well combined. (The batter will be very dry.)
• Stir in the sugar and melted butter until well combined, then stir in the flour with a firm rubber spatula. Set the batter aside.
• For the cheesecake filling: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the cream cheese, raspberry jam and egg yolk at low speed until well blended, about 2 minutes. Stir in the food coloring drop by drop until the desired color is reached. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag or resealable plastic bag.
• Spoon a tablespoon of brownie batter into each of the cups of the prepared mini-muffin pans. Pipe about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling onto each, then top off each cup with an additional teaspoon of brownie batter.
• Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a brownie bite comes out clean, about 12 minutes.
• Let the brownie bites cool for 10 minutes in the pans and then unmold and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Steps:

• Prepare and bake brownies according to package directions, using a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Cool completely on a wire rack. , In a small bowl, combine 1 cup cream and pudding mix; stir for 2 minutes or until very thick. In a small bowl, beat remaining cream until stiff peaks form; fold into pudding. Carefully spread over brownies; top with pie filling. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting.

Steps:

• Blitz the biscuits in a food processor or tip into a food bag and bash to fine crumbs using a rolling pin. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the melted butter until the mixture looks like damp sand. Tip the buttery crumbs into a 20cm springform tin and press into the base using the back of a spoon until you have a smooth, even layer. Chill until needed.
• Tip the soft cheese, sugar, vanilla, and cream into a bowl and beat using an electric whisk until thick and creamy. Fold in about two-thirds of the raspberries, pressing the berries lightly against the side of the bowl as you do to squeeze out some of their juices and lightly ripple the cream.
• Scrape the cheesecake mixture over the chilled base and smooth the top with a spatula. Chill for at least 6 hrs, or preferably overnight. Can be made up to two days ahead and chilled. To serve, carefully remove from the tin, scatter with the remaining raspberries and dust with icing sugar, if using.
