Red Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Brownies

I saw this recipe over at Sweet Pea's Kitchen and I had to 'steal' it from her! 


What you need:
For Red Velvet mix:
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2-oz dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp red food coloring
  • 2/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt


For Cheesecake mix:
  • 8-oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract


What you need to do:



1.  Preheat oven to 350F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 8 inch metal baking pan. Put a long piece of parchment paper in the bottom of the pan, letting the parchment extend up two sides of the pan and overhang slightly on both ends. (This will make it easy to remove the bars from the pan after they have baked.) Butter the parchment.
2. In a small, heatproof bowl, melt butter and chocolate together. Stir until combined and very smooth. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and red 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.


4. Pour into prepared pan and spread into an even layer.

5. To prepare cheesecake mixture, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth.

6. Distribute the cheesecake mixture in 8 dollops over batter in the pan

7.   Swirl in with a knife or spatula.


8.  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.
9.    Let cool completely in pan on a cooling rack before lifting out the parchment paper to remove the brownies.

These look heavenly! You make them look so simple to make too. Nice work. Wanted to tell you my hubby is retired from the AF. Congrats on your marriage.

Yum! Cheesecake and brownies are my two favourite desserts so this combines both. I will definitely try to make them.
