- In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt, and whisk until pale and thick. Whisk in warm melted chocolate mixture until smooth.
- Sprinkle flour over the surface and fold it in. Reserve about ⅓ cup of brownie batter and spread the rest into the prepared pan.
- Make the cheesecake batter. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla and beat until glossy. Beat in egg until well incorporated.
- Spread cheesecake batter evenly over brownie batter in the pan, then spoon teaspoons of reserved brownie batter randomly over the top.
- Make the raspberry swirl. Combine raspberries, sugar and corn starch, and mash it with a fork. Spoon this mixture over the batter and swirl together with a skewer.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until puffed and cheesecake is set. Let it cool completely in the pan.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing.
