Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies
Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies are a fudgy red velvet brownie with a creamy cheesecake swirled in. They're rich, indulgent, and so chewy.
Ingredients
Red Velvet Brownies
- ½ cup (113.5 g) butter melted and cooled
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temp
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring use 1 teaspoon if using the gel.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) salt
- 3 tablespoon cocoa powder
- ¾ cup (105 g) all-purpose flour
Cheesecake
- 8 oz (226.8 g) cream cheese room temp
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- pinch of salt
- 1 large egg room temp
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 8×8 pan with parchment paper and spray.
- Start by melting the butter in a microwave safe bowl. Once cooled, add sugar and whisk until combined. Add eggs, vanilla and red food coloring and whisk again.
- Whisk in salt, cocoa powder and flour. Pour batter into the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
- Place cream cheese and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat them together on medium/low. You can use a stand or hand mixer. Add vanilla and salt and beat in. Make sure it is completely smooth. Mix in the egg on low.
- Scoop dollops of cheesecake mixture on top of brownie batter and swirl with a knife. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out pretty clean. Remove from the oven and set on the counter to get to room temperature.
- When completely cooled, cover the cheesecake and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set up. Cut and serve.
Notes
Be careful not to over swirl the cheesecake or you won't be able to see the swirls.
These can be made Gluten Free by using gluten free flour for the brownie base.
