Remove from the oven and allow to fully cool before slicing.

To make the cheesecake layer

These red velvet brownies have the same sweet, rich, buttery flavor as classic red velvet cake, yet they’re really moist and chewy with the perfect fudge-like brownie texture. Chocolate chips and a little extra cocoa in the batter amplify the chocolate notes, creating an irresistible combination in these fun dessert bars. They’re perfect for Valentine’s Day — or any day you’re craving dessert! They’ll keep for at least 5 days (if not longer!) if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Healthier Red Velvet Brownies

tbsp (14 grams) unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted

tsp vanilla extract

½ tsp butter extract ((see Notes!))

tsp liquid red food coloring ((see Notes!))

(111

(144 grams) coconut sugar

tbsp (15 milliliters) unsweetened vanilla almond milk, room temperature

+ 2 tbsp (135 grams) oat flour

tbsp (30 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder

¼ tsp baking powder

tbsp (42 grams) miniature chocolate chips ((divided))

Preheat the oven to 300°F, and coat an 8”-square pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, stir together the butter or coconut oil, vanilla extract, butter extract, and salt. Stir in the red food coloring. Stir in the unsweetened applesauce. Stir in the coconut sugar. Stir in the milk. Pour in the oat flour and cocoa powder, and sprinkle the baking powder over the top (to prevent it from clumping!). Stir in the oat flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder all at the same time until just incorporated. Stir in 2 ½ tablespoons of miniature chocolate chips.

Spread the mixture into the prepared pan. Gently press the remaining miniature chocolate chips on top. Bake at 300°F for 16-20 minutes (16 minutes for the fudgiest and most gooey brownies, 20 minutes for firmer brownies). Cool completely to room temperature in the pan. Once they’ve reached room temperature, refrigerate the brownies for 24 hours for the best taste and texture before slicing and serving. (See Notes!)

These red velvet brownies are fudgy bars swirled with cheesecake and baked to perfection. An easy, yet elegant dessert offering!

red gel food coloring

white vinegar

cooking spray

brownie batter

water

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Cut two lengths of parchment paper, 8-inches wide and long enough to overhang the pan. Use the sheets of parchment to line the pan laying one piece over the other at 90 degrees.

Sieve the flour, cocoa and salt into a bowl and use a whisk to combine.

In a separate bowl, beat the slightly cooled melted butter and sugar together with a mixture until combined.

Add the eggs and beat for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is thick and pale and the beaters leave a trail in the mixture.

Add the vanilla extract, red food coloring and vinegar, then beat until combined.

Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully combined. Transfer most of the batter into the prepared pan, reserving three tablespoons to make the swirl.

For the brownie batter

To make the cheesecake filling, beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg together in a separate bowl until smooth.

Top the brownie batter with spoonfuls of cheesecake filling, then spread over the top with an off-set spatula.

For the cheesecake layer

To create the swirl, add 2 teaspoons of hot water to the reserved batter to loosen it. You can add one more teaspoon of water if you feel that your batter is still to thick to swirl.

Drop teaspoons of the reserved batter onto the cheesecake layer and swirl the mixtures together with a skewer.

Bake for 30-35 minutes until risen and slightly wobbly. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and place the pan on a cooling rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, transfer to the refrigerator to chill for 2-3 hours or overnight.

To cut into bars, use the parchment to lift the chilled brownie slab from the pan and transfer it to a cutting board. Dip a chef’s knife into hot water, wipe the blade dry and cut into 9 squares. For neat slices, dip and wipe the blade after each cut. Serve and enjoy.

For the swirl

These are so gorgeous and absolutely decadent!

If you’re a fan of red velvet, cheesecake and brownies, get ready for the ultimate mashup! These Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies bring the best of all three into one stunning dessert. The rich, fudgy red velvet base is perfectly complemented by a luscious, tangy cheesecake swirl, creating a treat that&#39;s as visually striking as it is delicious!

Moist Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies

all-purpose flour

cornstarch

cocoa powder (Dutch-processed cocoa will make the brownies too dark)

white granulated sugar

eggs (room temperature)

vegetable oil (I use canola oil)

unsalted butter (melted)

vanilla

tsp white vinegar

tsps liquid red food coloring

cream cheese (room temperature, 8 ounces in the US)

egg (room temperature)

tbsp all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 180 °C (350°F) conventional (see note 1 if using a convection oven with a fan) and grease a square 8x8 inch cake tin (I use my homemade cake release). Once greased, line with a piece of parchment paper that is long enough so there is some overhang on two opposite edges of the tin. This will make it easier to pull the brownies out once done. Set aside.

Sift together flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder and salt. Using a whisk, mix until well combined. Set aside.

In a large bowl combine sugar and eggs. Using a hand or stand mixer on a medium speed, whip for 3 minutes. The mixture should be pale and thick once done. Scrape off any batter from the attachments, as the remainder of the red velvet batter will be mixed by hand.

To the egg mixture, add the oil, butter, vanilla, white vinegar, and red liquid food coloring. Using a spatula, gently fold until well combined and smooth, being careful not to deflate too many air bubbles.

Add the presifted dry ingredients to the batter, and again using a spatula, gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Distribute about ⅔ of the batter into the prepared pan and spread out as evenly as you can on the bottom of the pan. Set aside for now and prepare cheesecake batter.

Cheesecake Swirl: In a medium bowl combine cream cheese, sugar, egg, vanilla and flour. Using a hand or stand mixer on a medium speed, whip until well combined and smooth.

Place dollops of the cheesecake batter over the first brownie layer in the pan. Once all the batter is used, use a spatula to gently spread it out as evenly as possible, without mixing it into the red velvet brownie batter. Ideally, it should fully cover the first layer of red velvet brownie batter.

Place dollops of the remaining red velvet brownie batter over the cheesecake layer. Then, using a spatula, gently spread it out as evenly as possible, ensuring it completely covers the cream cheese layer.

Finish by swirling a toothpick through the brownie. This will help create a beautiful swirl when it&#39;s time to cut the brownies.

Lightly tap the cake pan on the counter once to remove any large air bubbles, then bake for 25–28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Allow the brownie to completely cool in the pan. Once cool, use the parchment paper that&#39;s hanging over the edges to lift the brownie out of the pan. Slice and enjoy!

Combine RED VELVET and CHEESECAKE for the ultimate RED VELVET CHEESECAKE BROWNIES!

Red Velvet Brownies are decadent fudgy brownies with a bright and beautiful red velvet color and taste! Perfect for Valentine&#039;s Day treat, Christmas dessert, or any day of the year!

butter ((1 ½ sticks))

cocoa powder (sifted)

red food coloring

all-purpose flour (sifted)

kosher salt

block cream cheese (room temperature)

butter (room temperature)

milk ((if needed to desired consistency))

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line an 8-inch square cake pan with parchment paper, with some hanging over each side so that the brownies are easy to remove. If you don&#39;t have parchment pape, spray the entire pan with baking spray or butter or grease pan.

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in 30-second increments until completely melted. (This can also be done in a 2-3 quart saucepan over low heat.) Add the sugar to the melted butter and whisk together until combined.

Add the eggs in 1 at a time and whisk until each is just incorporated. Then add in vanilla and whisk together. You want the eggs incorporated so don’t be afraid to whisk them in. Just don’t go overboard and overmix as we do not want to add too much air into the mixture as that makes the brownie cakey.

Add the cocoa powder to the brownie batter (I tap through a sieve to avoid lumps) and whisk together gently until completely combined.

Add the liquid red food coloring to the bowl and mix until combined. (If using an alternate gel food coloring, take a couple of tablespoons of the batter and put it into a small bowl. Add your red gel food coloring to this bowl and mix it in until the gel is all incorporated and there are no lumps.) Then, add the mixture to the batter and mix until combined.

Switch from a whisk to a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, and fold the flour and salt into the batter (I tap through a sieve to avoid lumps).

When there are no more lumps of flour, add the vinegar and mix in well.

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until a wooden skewer or a cake tester comes out with just moist crumbs on it.

The brownies should be cooled in the pan for 30 minutes. Then, remove them from the pan to cool completely before frosting them with the cream cheese

In a stand mixer or with an electric mixer, beat the room-temperature butter and cream cheese together until smooth and combined.

Add the powdered sugar and mix in slowly, once just combined, turn your mixer onto high speed and beat for a few minutes until light and fluffy.

Add the vanilla and beat until incorporated.

Add 1 to 2 teaspoons milk(optional), if needed, to achieve the desired consistency, and beat until smooth.

Spread the cream cheese icing on the fully cooled brownies and slice to serve.

Cream Cheese Icing

These brownies are insane!!!!! You know you are eating a brownie - they are dense and delicious.  The frosting is perfect.  I made a second batch for my neighbor as a thank you for watching our dog.  She wants to know when she can watch the dog again.

Looking forward to mixing up a batch of these for this coming Valentine Day 2024. 
I plan on using Cream Cheese Flavored Chocolate Chips in mine. 
Thank you!

I am a terrible baker, I made these brownies and followed the exact recipe and they were fantastic! My boys didn’t even believe I made them!! ?? thank you! Saving this recipe!

These brownies where so delicious. Plus, easy and quick to make!

REALLY GOOD! I didn’t add the vinegar because I didn’t have some but they we’re still really good! I definitely recommend and will be making AND adding to my recipe book!

These brownies came out awesome! My daughter made them but didn't melt the butter. I had softened it for her so we just beat it in.  I do have a question. You have white vinegar as an ingredient, but the recipe doesn't it call it out. We added it along with the food coloring?? Just curious. They turned out fantastic!

Ultra fudgy red velvet brownies with silky and luscious vanilla cheesecake and chocolate cheesecake fillings!
