Ingredients

Brownies

Cheesecake Swirl

  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

Instructions 

  • First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing, add the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk for 1 minute until frothy.
  • Then, add in the eggs, red food coloring, and vanilla. Whisk vigorously for 2 minutes.
  • Add in the gluten free flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Stir to combine.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Smooth into an even layer.
  • Then, make the cheesecake swirl. In a bowl, combine the sugar, egg, and room temperature cream cheese. Use a hand mixer to cream together.
  • 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.
  • Next, bake for 25 to 27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with only moist crumbs.
  • 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.
