Ingredients
  

Brownie Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter melted (2 sticks)
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon red food coloring
  • 15 coarsely crushed Oreos with filling (use food processor)
Cream Cheese Swirl Ingredients
  • 8 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Baking Pan
  • Food processor

Method
 

Directions
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Whisk them together until well combined and smooth.
  3. Step 3: Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and red food coloring until evenly incorporated.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. Step 5: Fold in the coarsely crushed Oreos, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Step 6: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Add in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  7. Step 7: Pour half of the red velvet brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Then, dollop the cream cheese mixture over the top and swirl it gently with a spatula. Pour the remaining brownie batter on top and create a swirl with a knife to combine slightly.
  8. Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Step 9: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before cutting into squares. Enjoy these delightful Red Velvet Oreo Swirl Brownies with friends and family!

Notes

  • Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the swirl.
  • For a deeper red color, feel free to add a bit more red food coloring.
  • These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For an extra indulgent treat, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
