Ingredients

    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
    8-oz cream cheese, room temperature
    1/3 cup sugar
    1 large egg
    1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Tips

Cool in the pan completely before slicing and serving, either at room temperature or chilled. Brownies can be refrigerated, covered for several days.


Directions

Red Velvet
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Line an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease.
3. In a heatproof bowl, melt butter and chocolate together. Stir with a fork until very smooth. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and red food coloring. Add in the chocolate mixture and stir until smooth.
Note: Batter should be red, if brighter red is desired, add additional 1/2 tsp food coloring.
5. Add flour and salt into the bowl and stir until everything is just combined and no streaks of dry ingredients remain.
6. Pour into prepared pan and spread into an even layer.

Cheesecake
1. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
2. Drop in dollops onto prepared brownie batter.
3. Gently swirl two batters with a butter knife.

Baking
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.
