  • Prepare Cheesecake Layer: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in an egg and vanilla until just combined.
  • Make Brownie Batter: Whisk flour, cocoa, and salt in one bowl. In another, mix coconut oil, sugar, and vanilla, then add eggs one at a time. Fold dry ingredients into wet.
  • Layer and Bake: Spread half of brownie batter in a parchment-lined pan. Pour cheesecake mixture over this layer, then dollop the raspberry sauce on top and swirl. Bake at 350°F for 30–35 minutes.
  • Cool and Chill: Let brownies cool for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting.
