Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon red food coloring (gel is best)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and red food coloring until everything is evenly colored.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until just combined.
  • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake batter over the brownie batter. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the cheesecake into the brownie batter.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
