🛒 Ingredients

Red Velvet Brownie Layer:

  • ½ cup butter, melted

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Cheesecake Layer:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

👩‍🍳 Methods / Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Brownie Base

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. In a medium bowl, combine melted butter and sugar. Stir in eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. Mix in cocoa powder, red food coloring, flour, and salt until combined. This creates the rich red velvet brownie base.

  4. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking pan.

2️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Layer

  1. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.

  2. Add sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until creamy.

  3. Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the red velvet batter.

3️⃣ Swirl the Layers

  1. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the cheesecake into the red velvet layer to create a marbled effect.

4️⃣ Bake to Perfection

  1. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and a toothpick inserted into the brownie (avoiding the cheesecake swirls) comes out clean.

  2. Let cool completely in the pan before slicing.

5️⃣ Serve and Enjoy

  • Cut into squares or rectangles.

  • Optional: dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate for extra flair.

  • Best served slightly chilled or at room temperature.
