Tips:

RED VELVET CHEESECAKE

To get a bright red color that rest vibrant after baking like my Red Velvet Brownies, you should use a professional food coloring in paste or gel. My favourite brand is Sugar Flair and you need less than 1/2 tsp of food coloring to get that amazing red!

RED VELVET CHEESECAKE

I made an easy marble pattern for my Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies to decorate them. You just need to remember keeping apart about 3 tbsp of Red Velvet brownie batter you will use to spot on top of cheesecake layer. Then you can use a toothpick to create this easy cute effect!

RED VELVET CHEESECAKE

Instead of use dark chocolate like a classic Brownies recipe, I decided to use white chocolate instead. So I got a more vanilla scented brownie batter and the red color turned out more vibrant! But the fudgy texture was the same of a traditional brownie recipe: so rich and fudgy!
