Red Velvet Brownies
Report
These Red Velvet Brownies are dense and fudgy, exceptionally moist, and fantastically rich. The cream cheese frosting on top is perfection!

Ingredients
Red Velvet Brownies
- ½ cup unsalted butter, diced
- 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate baking bar, chopped
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon Morton kosher salt
- 3 teaspoons red gel food coloring
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 4 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups sifted powdered sugar
- 1 pinch fine sea salt
Instructions
Red Velvet Brownies
- Preheat oven to 325°. Line a 9” x 9” metal baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over very low heat, stir butter and chocolate until chocolate is melted. Remove saucepan from heat.
- To the chocolate mixture, immediately whisk in sugar, then eggs, 1 at a time. Stir in vanilla, salt, and food coloring. Sift flour and baking powder over mixture and stir gently to incorporate fully. Transfer batter to prepared pan - mixture will be thick.
- Bake brownies until puffed and a bit dry-looking, and toothpick inserted into center comes out with some moist batter attached, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely in pan on rack.
Cream Cheese Frosting
- Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl until light and fluffy, about 1 minute or so. Add vanilla, powdered sugar, and salt, and mix on low just to combine. Then turn speed up to medium-high and beat until fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
Assemble
- For super clean slices, cut around the perimeter of the pan to release the brownies. Using the parchment paper, lift the brownies out of the pan and set on a cutting board. Spread cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. With a long, non-serrated knife, cut into individual brownies, wiping the knife clean after each slice. (If you're not concerned about super clean slices, just frost the brownies right in the pan.)
