Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Cream Cheese Swirl

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Red Velvet Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Prepare Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, combine melted butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt; gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  2. Make Cream Cheese Swirl: In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla, continuing to mix until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Mix Red Velvet Batter: In another bowl, whisk melted butter, sugar, and egg. Stir in buttermilk and red food coloring. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt; fold into wet ingredients until combined.
  4. Assemble the Brownies: Pour the brownie batter evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter, then drop dollops of the red velvet batter on top.
  5. Swirl Batters: Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the cream cheese and red velvet dollops through the brownie batter to create a marbled effect.
  6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled batter for 35-40 minutes or until the cheesecake is set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the cheesecake swirl.
  • Do not overmix batters to maintain a tender texture.
  • Use good quality red food coloring for a vibrant red velvet color.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
