Ingredients

Scale

Red Velvet Brownies

  • ¾ cup butter, melted (regular or dairy free)
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon liquid red food coloring
  • 1½ teaspoon white vinegar
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup + 3 tbsp all-purpose flour

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 4 oz plain cream cheese, room temperature (SEE NOTES IF DAIRY FREE)
  • ¼ cup butter, softened (dairy free or regular)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 1½–2 cups powdered sugar (icing sugar)
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch (ONLY IF DAIRY FREE, SEE NOTES)

Instructions

  1. Red Velvet Brownies – Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 square baking pan with parchment paper. Leave parchment paper hanging over the sides of the pan so that you can easily remove the brownies from the pan later. Melt the butter and sugars together, then add eggs, vinegar, vanilla, and red food coloring. Mix in dry ingredients and pour into the pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few wet crumbs.
  2. Cream Cheese Frosting – In a bowl, mix cream cheese, butter, salt, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar to achieve desired consistency. For dairy-free, add cornstarch to thicken. Chill frosting before spreading on cooled brownies.

Notes

  • Be cautious not to overbake the brownies; they should be fudgy and moist.
  • Adjust the amount of red food coloring based on your desired intensity of red color.
  • If making dairy-free, follow the notes provided for suitable substitutions and adjustments.
