Ingredients

Brownies
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 5 drops red food coloring
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup gluten free flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • Pinch sea salt
Cheesecake Swirl
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing, add the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk for 1 minute until frothy.
  3. Then, add in the eggs, red food coloring, and vanilla. Whisk vigorously for 2 minutes.
  4. Add in the gluten free flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Stir to combine.
  5. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Smooth into an even layer.
  6. Then, make the cheesecake swirl. In a bowl, combine the sugar, egg, and room temperature cream cheese. Use a hand mixer to cream together.
  7. Use a spoon to drop the cheesecake swirl mixture on top of the brownie layer. Drop in dollops. Then, use a knife to swirl together.
  8. Next, bake for 25 to 27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with only moist crumbs.
  9. Finally, remove from the oven. Allow the red velvet cheesecake bars to fully cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • The red food coloring is entirely optional.  If omitted, the brownies will appear brown like normal brownies.
  • If you are not gluten free, feel free to use regular flour.
  • Be sure to use room temperature cream cheese.  It is much easier to cream together.
  • Allow the bars to fully cool before slicing into.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
