To make these Red Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Brownies, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Brownie Layer:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

For the Cheesecake Layer:

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

For the Red Velvet Layer:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined. Add in the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
In another mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, and red food coloring, and beat until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, until well combined.
To assemble the brownies, spread half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer, and then spoon the red velvet batter over the cheesecake layer. Use a knife to swirl the layers together.
Bake the brownies for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing and serving.
These Red Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Brownies are a perfect combination of rich, creamy, and fudgy flavors. The brownie layer is dense and chocolatey, while the cheesecake layer adds a creamy tanginess. The red velvet layer is moist and fluffy, with a hint of cocoa and vanilla. These brownies are sure to be a hit with anyone who loves chocolate and cheesecake.
