Ingredients
  

For the red velvet brownies

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8 x 8 pan on all sides with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk together until glossy.
  • Add the eggs and whisk until it emulsifies and is slightly foamy, about 2 minutes. This will give you that nice crackly top.
  • Add the vanilla extract and food coloring and stir to evenly distribute.
  • Add the flour, cocoa powder and salt and mix until combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading into an even layer.
  • Next, make the cream cheese swirl. Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk together until smooth and creamy.
  • Drop the cream cheese mixture in large dollops on top of the red velvet brownie batter. Use a butter knife to make big swirls.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing into 9 huge brownies or 16 smaller ones! Enjoy!
