Description

These Red Velvet Brownies offer a rich and fudgy twist on classic brownies, combining the signature red color and subtle cocoa flavor with the moist texture you love. Perfect for holiday celebrations or anytime you crave a decadent dessert, they feature optional white chocolate chips for added sweetness and a beautiful powdered sugar dusting for presentation.

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or chunks (optional)

For Garnish

  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugar: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted and cooled butter with granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to create a smooth batter. Then, stir in the vanilla extract and red food coloring for that classic red velvet hue.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt to remove lumps, then gently fold this into the wet ingredients just until combined to achieve a tender crumb.
  5. Fold in White Chocolate Chips: If using, gently fold the white chocolate chips or chunks into the batter for added bursts of sweetness and texture.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out smoothly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs for a fudgy texture.
  7. Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to set before slicing them into 9 squares.
  8. Garnish: Optionally, dust the cooled brownies with powdered sugar for an elegant finishing touch before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer, fudgier texture, slightly underbake the brownies and chill them before cutting.
  • Consider adding a cream cheese swirl before baking to enhance the classic red velvet flavor with creamy tanginess.
