Ingredients

  • For the Red Velvet Brownies:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1–2 tablespoons red food coloring
  • For the Cheesecake Layer:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease.

3. Make Cheesecake Layer

In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble

Pour red velvet brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Carefully spoon or layer the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cheesecake into the brownie for a marbled effect.

5. Bake

Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are okay).

6. Cool and Slice

Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Extra Creamy: Use full-fat cream cheese for the cheesecake layer.
  • Chocolate Lovers: Sprinkle chocolate chips on top before baking.
  • Make Ahead: Brownies can be baked a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
  • Decorative Swirl: Use a toothpick to create intricate swirls with the cheesecake layer for a beautiful presentation.

These Classic Red Velvet Brownies with Cheesecake Layer are rich, indulgent, and beautifully layered. Fudgy red velvet brownies form the perfect base, while a smooth, creamy cheesecake layer adds a tangy sweetness that balances the deep chocolate flavor.

Perfect for holidays, parties, or special occasions, these dessert bars look as impressive as they taste. Each bite delivers a decadent mix of velvety cocoa richness and creamy cheesecake goodness.
