Let’s make some Raspberry Cheesecake Squares with Brookside Chocolate!
For these decadent Raspberry Cheesecake Squares, I started with a chocolate fudge box cake mix for the crust.
Then, I topped it with vanilla bean cheesecake.
Since I was going to use the Brookside Chocolate in raspberry flavor, I decided to make some fresh raspberry curd to go with it. You can find the easy recipe HERE.
Then, I added a few spoonfuls to the top and swirled the cheesecake and raspberry curd together.
I added some Brookside Chocolate to the top along with some smashed raspberries — which sound exactly like they are. I just took a potato smasher to about 2/3 cup of fresh raspberries. Lastly, I drizzled it in melted dark chocolate chips.
Then, I chilled it in the fridge overnight.
Oh my goodness! The combination of the Brookside Chocolate and cheesecake and raspberry curd was just amazing! This dessert is like heaven!
