Red Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Brownies
PREP TIME
20 minutes
COOK TIME
20 minutes
Ingredients
2 sticks unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons red food coloring (or about 1 tablespoon red gel food coloring)
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
For the cheesecake
2 blocks cream cheese (16 ounces), at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 baking dish with foil with some excess hanging over on each end (for easy lifting later) and spray with non-stick spray. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour the melted butter into a large mixing bowl and mix in the sugar until combined. Stir in the eggs, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, food coloring, vinegar, and salt. Mix in the flour until just-combined, being careful not to overmix the batter. Measure out about 2/3 cup of the batter and set aside. Pour the remaining batter into the baking dish and spread into an even layer with a spatula. Set aside.
To prepare the cheesecake layer, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until smooth. Spoon the mixture over the brownie layer. Use a spatula to gently spread the cheesecake mixture over the top of the brownie layer. Then dollop the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake mixture. Use a knife to then swirl the batter into the cheesecake mixture.
Bake the brownies for approximately 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting into squares.
