Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners so you're all set for the batter.
- In a big bowl, mix melted butter with sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, red food coloring, salt, and white vinegar until smooth.
- Whisk in the lightly beaten eggs until everything’s well combined—but don’t overdo it or you risk tough bites.
- Slowly stir in the flour just until no streaks remain, keeping the batter tender and soft.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar, vanilla extract, and the egg yolk until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon a little red velvet batter into each muffin cup, then drop a dollop of cheesecake mix on top, and swirl gently with a toothpick for a pretty marbled look.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until the cheesecake mixture is fully baked.
- Remove the brownie bites from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing.
Notes
Store the red velvet cheesecake brownie bites in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for about 3 to 5 days. A little parchment or wax paper between the layers keeps them from sticking together. Avoid freezing to maintain creamy texture.
