Preheat oven to 170°C/325°F.
Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Leave until melted and smooth.
Put the butter and sugar in a bowl and mix with an electric mixer until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well. Gradually beat in the flour, mixing well after each addition. Turn the mixer up to high speed and beat until you get a smooth texture.
Slowly pour in the melted chocolate and mix thoroughly. Pour into the prepared baking tray ad smooth over with palette knife. Put the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl and mix with an electric mixer on slow speed until smooth and thick.
Add one egg at a time, while still mixing. The mixture should be smooth and creamy. You can turn the mixer up to high speed to make the mixture fluffier but be careful not to over-mix as the cheese will split. Spoon on top of the brownie and smooth over with palette knife. Bake in pre-heated oven for 30-40 minutes or until cheesecake is firm to touch and light golden around the edges. The centre should be pale.
Leave to cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, or overnight if possible. Mash the fresh raspberries with a fork. Put the cream, sugar and raspberries and mix with an electric mixer until firm but not stiff. Turn the brownie out onto a board and turn the right way up. Spread the cream topping over the brownie and decorate with more raspberries.
