For the Brownies:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
For the Cream Cheese Swirl:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix the Brownie Batter: In a bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Swirl: In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until creamy.
- Layer and Swirl: Pour most of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Spoon dollops of the cream cheese mixture on top. Add the remaining brownie batter on top and swirl the two mixtures together using a knife.
- Bake and Cool: Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool in the pan before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
- For a more intense red color, use gel food coloring.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
