-
⅔ cup (130 g) granulated sugar

½ cup (85 g) powdered sugar
-
1 large egg

Directions
Preheat Oven & Prep Skillet: Heat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Lightly butter a 10-inch cast-iron skillet.
Mix Dry & Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light. Add the egg and mix until just combined.
Incorporate Flour: Blend in the baking soda, salt, and flour until dough comes together—avoid overmixing for tender texture.
Fold in Flavor: Gently fold in the frozen raspberries and chopped Red Vines pieces, reserving a few for topping.
Bake: Spread the dough evenly in the skillet. Press reserved raspberries and licorice pieces over the top. Bake 35–40 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is set yet soft.
Serve Warm: Allow to cool briefly, then serve directly from the skillet topped with scoops of vanilla ice cream for a gooey, irresistible treat.
Recipe Note
10 Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh raspberries?
Yes—though freezing them first helps prevent the dough from becoming too wet.
What if I don’t have Red Vines?
You can substitute with any chewy red licorice, but Red Vines deliver that classic flavor and texture.
Can I use room-temperature raspberries?
Room temperature raspberries may cause the dough to be too soft; freeze them briefly first.
Is it okay if the center seems underdone?
Yes—like a brownie, it should stay slightly soft in the center for that gooey contrast.
How should I store leftovers?
Cover and keep at room temperature for up to 2 days. Rewarm gently in the oven before serving.
Can this be made dairy-free?
Yes—you can use dairy-free butter and plant-based ice cream to accommodate dietary needs.
Can I make individual servings?
Certainly—portion dough into ramekins or mini skillets, adjusting baking time down to 20–25 minutes.
Can I add extra mix-ins?
Go for it—chocolate chips or chopped nuts can be beautifully balanced by the licorice and fruit.
Is a cast-iron skillet required?
While a cast-iron adds rustic charm and even heating, you may also use an oven-safe pan of similar size.
Can I freeze this dessert?
Yes—freeze cooled or portioned slices wrapped airtight. Reheat in the oven to restore crisp edges and soft center.
