red velvet dessert

Silky smooth, rich and creamy Red Velvet Cheesecake Bites with whipped cream and white chocolate shavings. These decadent beauties are super elegant and impressive, yet crazy easy to make! 

Red Velvet Cheesecake Bites

eggs

butter (melted)

sugar

vanilla

cocoa powder

salt

red food coloring

vinegar

flour

cream cheese (softened)

whipping cream and white chocolate shavings for topping (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin tin with 12 paper cupcake liners.

In a small bowl whisk eggs and set aside. In a large bowl combine melted butter, sugar, vanilla, cocoa, powder, salt, red food coloring, and vinegar and mix well. Mix in whisked eggs. Stir in flour until just incorporated. Spoon into prepared cupcake liners being sure to reserve about 3 tablespoons of the batter for later.

In a medium bowl cream together cream cheese and sugar. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla on high speed for 2-3 minutes until mixture is smooth. Spoon cheesecake filling into the cupcake liners on top of the brownie batter.

Drop about 1/2-1 teaspoon of brownie batter on top of the cheesecake layer and use a toothpick to gently create a swirl.

Bake for 14-16 minutes until cheesecake is almost set (it should still wiggle a bit when the pan is jostled and the edges and top should not be browned) then allow to cool in the muffin tin for 15-20 minutes before transferring to fridge or freezer to chill. Once chilled, store in airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days before serving cold topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.

These fudgy red velvet brownies combine the best of brownies and red velvet cake, topped with optional white chocolate drizzle!

Fudgy Red Velvet Brownies Recipe

¾ cup unsalted butter melted

2 oz chopped semi-sweet chocolate bar

& ¼ cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon white vinegar

½ tablespoons red gel food coloring

& ¼ cup all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup white chocolate chips optional

Preheat and prep

First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. The parchment helps when it’s time to lift the brownies out—no sticking or crumbling here!

Melt the chocolate and butter

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and chopped semi-sweet chocolate. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. (Pro tip: If you’re like me and always manage to make a mess in the microwave, use a bowl that’s a little bigger than you think you need.)

Mix in the sugar, eggs, and flavorings

Stir the granulated sugar into the melted butter and chocolate mixture. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. (I’ve definitely forgotten to mix after the first egg before, and let me tell you, you end up with weird, uneven brownies.) Once the eggs are in, add the vanilla, white vinegar, and red food coloring. The batter should be a deep, vibrant red at this point.

Sift and fold in the dry ingredients

In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gently fold this into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, or you’ll end up with a tougher texture rather than the perfect fudgy brownie. If you’re adding white chocolate chips, now’s the time to fold them in, too!

Bake to perfection

Pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs—if it&#8217;s still wet, give it a few more minutes. But remember, we want fudgy, not dry!

Cool, drizzle, and enjoy

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting. If you’re adding melted white chocolate on top, drizzle it on once the brownies are cool, let it set, and then slice them up.
