Red Velvet Brownies With Cream Cheese - Rich & Delicious Baked Dessert Recipe
Soft, fudgy, and oh-so-irresistible, these Red Velvet Brownies are finished with a rich layer of smooth cream cheese frosting — the ultimate dessert indulgence!
Ingredients
For the Brownies:
- ¾ stick (85 g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (55 g) light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
- ¼ cup (25 g) cocoa powder
- ¾ cup (90 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp red food coloring
- ¾ cup (127 g) white chocolate chips (optional)
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 4 oz (114 g) cream cheese, softened
- ¾ stick (85 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups (480 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prep the Pan & Oven:
Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C), or 160°C if using a fan oven. - Make the Brownie Batter:
In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter in 30-second bursts in the microwave until fully melted. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth. Add the eggs, yolk, and vanilla extract, stirring just until combined — don’t overmix or your brownies will turn cakey. Mix in the vegetable oil and cocoa powder until the batter looks glossy and uniform. In a separate small bowl, combine a few spoonfuls of the batter with red food coloring until it’s evenly tinted. Pour that back into the main bowl and stir until your batter turns that signature deep red color. Switch to a spatula and gently fold in the flour, cornstarch, and salt until no dry streaks remain. Stir in the vinegar, and if you like, toss in the white chocolate chips for extra sweetness. - Bake the Brownies:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for about 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely before frosting. - Make the Frosting:
Beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until creamy and lump-free. Slowly mix in the powdered sugar, then whip on high speed for 2–3 minutes until fluffy and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and give it one last mix. - Assemble:
Spread the frosting generously over the cooled brownies, smoothing the top with a spatula. Slice into squares and enjoy your rich, velvety masterpiece!
