Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies

With Valentine’s Day approaching, I thought that I would serve you up some
Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownie  love ♥ ♥ ♥
Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies
1 cup unsalted butter
4-oz dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon red food coloring
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 – 8oz blocks cream cheese, room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350F.
Line a 9 by 13 inch baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease.
Melt butter and chocolate together. Stir until combined and very smooth.
Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and food coloring.
Add chocolate mixture and stir until smooth.
Add flour and salt and stir until just combined and no streaks of dry ingredients remain.
Pour into prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
To prepare cheesecake mixture, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drop in dollops onto prepared brownie batter.
Gently swirl two batters with a butter knife.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, until brownies and cheesecake are set.
A knife inserted into the cheesecake mixture should come out clean and the edges will be lightly browned.
Cool in the pan completely before slicing and serving, either at room temperature or chilled.
Enjoy!

    I just made these this afternoon! They are a HUGE hit so far. Very rich and fudgy with a true red velvet taste (I was skeptical). I baked them quite a bit longer than 35 minutes and they could have stood another 5 minutes or so but I like mine a bit softer. I used heart-shaped cookie cutters to cut them and they turned out really lovely. Thank you!

    Two of my favorite things- red velvet cake and cheesecake. yum!These are beautiful too. I've seen something similar before but the recipe called for a cake mix. I'm glad these don't.

    I can't wait to try these. I searched online for a red velvet bar recipe awhile ago and I could only find one using a box mix and they turned out really good, but I would much rather make it from scratch. I love the marble effect.

    Once I saw the ingredients you were using, I decided we need to be neighbors! Great recipe.

    Just made these, they're still warm in the pan :) They turned out great! I had to cook a little longer than 35 mins (I left them in for 50 and they are nice and spongy, but for those that like em a little gooey, I'd say 40-45). They are definitely rich, make sure you have a glass of milk on hand. I wonder how fast these will disappear tomorrow when the family gets at them ;)

    I made these and i forgot to add the flour to the bottom luckily i remembered and added some but it seemed a bit stiff even with the right measurements i prefer mine much softer, i'm still cooking them right now as i type!

    I'm pretty sure even if i screwed it up that it will taste fantastic but i'm vegan but i ended up having to use eggs but i did try not to add eggs very

    My baby girl found this through Stumble and sent it as a hint for her Welcome Home for Spring Break dinner. I made them yesterday and took them to a family cookout. They were a huge hit and will definitely be made again soon.

    To the vegan above: Try mixing ground flax seed and water and using it as an egg substitute. I believe the ratio is 1T ground flax + 3T water = 1 egg. Just mix and let it sit for 5 or 10 minutes before adding it to the other ingredients.

    I made these a couple days ago. They turned out great, but not nearly as red as they look here.

    I think in the future I'll just leave out the food colouring and just call them cheesecake brownies.

    The red and white marbling make it look like a fine cut of meat.

    Just put these in the oven, hopefully they turn out well. I think I might have screwed up the cheesecake part, but I'm sure they will taste delicious either way. Great recipe.
