Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring (gel preferred)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
  3. Stir in flour and cocoa powder until just combined. Mix in red food coloring until desired hue is achieved.
  4. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until creamy.
  5. Spread half of the brownie batter into the prepared dish, followed by the cheesecake mixture. Top with remaining brownie batter.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean from the edges but slightly sticky from the center. Cool before slicing.
