Print Recipe

Rich and decadent Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies that combine the flavors of chocolate and creamy cheesecake in a beautiful, marbled dessert.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp white vinegar
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cheesecake layer)
  • 1 large egg (for cheesecake layer)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for cheesecake layer)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, mix melted butter and 1 cup sugar until combined. Add 2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and red food coloring; mix well.
  3. Sift in the cocoa powder, salt, and vinegar. Mix until smooth, then fold in the flour until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, reserving about 1/4 cup for topping.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg, and 1/2 tsp vanilla until smooth.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter in the pan. Use a knife to swirl the layers together gently.
  7. Dollop the reserved brownie batter on top and swirl lightly again for a marbled effect.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature cream cheese.
  • Refrigerate brownies for cleaner cuts and firmer texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
