Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking pan by lining an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, vanilla extract, and red food coloring, then fold in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth, then add the egg and vanilla extract.
  4. Spread three-quarters of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, then layer the cheesecake, topping with remaining brownie batter. Swirl gently to create a marbled effect.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  6. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
  7. Lift the brownies out using the parchment overhang, cut into squares, and serve with whipped cream or chocolate sauce if desired.
