Don’t overbake, pull them early. This is the number one reason brownies dry out. Take them out when the center still looks slightly underdone and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs, not clean. They continue to set as they cool.

How Do I Make Homemade Raspberry Sauce?

You will need 2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen), 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste), 1–2 tsp lemon juice (adds brightness), 1-2 tbsp water. Combine & Heat: Add raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 3–7 minutes, stirring occasionally and crushing the berries with a spoon, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture breaks down.

Christina’s Notes

  • Keep the brownies fudgy so the sauce has contrast: A fudgy brownie gives you that clean, glossy top with a soft bite that pairs beautifully with tart berries.

  • Strain the raspberry sauce for a silky finish: Seeds can make the sauce feel gritty and distract from the brownie texture.

  • Reduce the sauce enough so it doesn’t run everywhere: A too‑thin sauce will soak into the brownie and make it soggy.
