Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1 box red velvet cake mix (approximately 15.25 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup water

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix and cocoa powder. Add the vegetable oil, eggs, and water, then mix thoroughly until a smooth batter forms.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until creamy and well combined.
  3. Layer the Brownies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour half of the red velvet batter evenly into a greased 9×9-inch baking pan. Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture over the batter layer. Top with the remaining red velvet batter, gently smoothing the surface.
  4. Bake the Brownies: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the brownie layer (not the cream cheese) comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep the cream cheese creamy.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and flavor.
  • Make sure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • You can add a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts on top for added crunch.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
