Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
Whisk the granulated sugar into the melted chocolate mixture. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour three-quarters of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, reserving the remaining batter for later.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture and the raspberry preserves over the brownie batter in the pan.
Spoon the reserved brownie batter in between the dollops. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the layers together for a marbled effect. Be careful not to over-swirl.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares. Serve and enjoy!
