What You Need for Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecake Brownies

For the Red Velvet Brownie Layer:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar (enhances the red velvet flavor)
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For the Oreo Cheesecake Layer:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecake Brownies

Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Batter

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth.
  3. Add eggs, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and vinegar, mixing until well combined.
  4. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt, and fold gently until just combined (don’t overmix!).

Step 2: Make the Oreo Cheesecake Layer

  1. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  2. Add egg and vanilla extract, beating until creamy and well incorporated.
  3. Gently fold in crushed Oreos.

Step 3: Assemble the Brownies

  1. Pour ¾ of the red velvet brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
  2. Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter and gently swirl with a knife.
  3. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining red velvet batter on top and swirl again for a marbled effect.
  4. Sprinkle extra crushed Oreos on top for extra crunch.

Step 4: Bake & Cool

  1. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  2. Let the brownies cool completely before slicing—this helps the cheesecake layer set!

Step 5: Slice & Serve

  1. Cut into squares and serve with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  2. Enjoy the fudgiest, creamiest, and crunchiest brownies ever!

Tips for the Best Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecake Brownies

  • Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother cheesecake swirl.
  • Don’t overmix the batter—stir until just combined to keep the brownies fudgy.
  • For cleaner slices, chill the brownies for an hour before cutting.
  • Want even more crunch? Stir extra Oreo chunks into the brownie batter!
  • Use good-quality cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Make it gluten-free: Use gluten-free Oreos and flour.
  • Switch up the Oreos: Try Golden Oreos or mint Oreos for a twist!
  • Add a chocolate drizzle: Melt white or dark chocolate and drizzle over the top.
  • Make them extra gooey: Bake for 2-3 minutes less for ultra-fudgy brownies.

Make a Healthier Version

  • Use Greek yogurt instead of butter for a lower-fat option.
  • Swap half the sugar for coconut sugar for a more natural sweetness.
  • Use light cream cheese to reduce calories without sacrificing creaminess.
