Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 810 Oreo cookies, crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and red food coloring, and whisk until fully combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
  4. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the red velvet batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out evenly. Spoon dollops of the cheesecake mixture on top, then use a knife or skewer to swirl the layers together for a marbled effect.
  6. Sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are okay).
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Slice into squares and enjoy.

Notes

For cleaner slices, refrigerate the brownies for 30 minutes before cutting. Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and even baking.
