Print Recipe

A beautiful Valentine’s or holiday treat that tempts with fudgy goodness and rich cream cheese and then delivers all the chocolate flavor you crave! Butter, sugar, cocoa, eggs, vinegar, flour, cream cheese, vanilla and red food coloring are mixed, layered and baked into a red velvet dessert brownie bar you won’t resist!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix melted butter, 2 cups sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, vanilla extract, and vinegar until smooth.
  3. Stir in flour and salt until just combined. Mix in red food coloring until batter is evenly colored.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour half of the red velvet batter into the prepared pan. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the batter, then top with remaining red velvet batter.
  6. Use a knife to swirl the cream cheese mixture into the red velvet batter.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and do not overmix the batter to keep the brownies tender. Let the brownies cool completely before slicing to maintain clean edges.
